Nicephorus, Monachus
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
an Eastern ascetic noted as an ecclesiastical writer, but little known, however, except as an author, flourished about 1100, according to P. Possinus. One Nicephorus, a monk, is the author of Περὶ φυλακῆς καρδίας , De Custodia Cordis, a very interesting and valuable essay, which Possinus published in Greek and Latin, in his Thesaurus Asceticus (Paris, 1648, 4to). See Cave, Hist. Lit. ad ann. 1101; Fabricius, Bibl. Grec. 7:679.
