John of Damascus (650 ? - 754 ?)
Born around 650 into a Christian family, he succeeded his father for a few years in the financial administration of the Caliph, then retired after 700 to the monastery of St. Sabas, near Jerusalem. Ordained a priest by John, Patriarch of Jerusalem, he defended the use of religious images. He died at an advanced age (in around 750), leaving a huge body of work. Author of the Fount of Wisdom, the Sacra Parallela and liturgical poems, traditionally he marks the end of the patristic era.
