Fabricius notes that Nektarios was born in Crete and educated at Athens under Theophilus Corydales. He was a strict partisan of Greek orthodoxy and endorsed the Confession of Mogilas in 1662. “During his patriarchate the Romish emissaries were very active in endeavoring to persuade the Greek Christians of Palestine… to unite with the Church of Rome; among them a Franciscan named Peter was especially active in distributing five tracts in defense of the papal authority. These tracts Nectarius answered by the publication of another entitled Peri tes arches tou Papa antirresis - On the Beginning of the Pope Antichrist which is a fair refutation of the five principles laid down in the Roman Catholic tracts†McClintock & Strong Cyclopedia 6:914. This refutation first appeared at Yassy in 1681 or 1682 and was later translated into the present Latin version by the eminent scholar and Huguenot refugee to England Pierre Allix 1641-1717. The conclusion of the text notes “Excusus per Metrophanem Hieromonachum Giazi Yassy in Moldavia A. MDCLXXII†-- the year of the Synod of Jerusalem which represented the climax of the Orthodox reaction against the heresies of Cyril Lucaris. Following the main text are two brief discussions of the Jesuits pp.385-406: De Jesuitis On the Jesuits; De Jesuita qui in Orientales nugas es mendacia effugiit On the Jesuits Who Spewed Falsehoods upon the Easterners.

Notes: In 1788 Anthimos 1717-1808 became Greek or Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem or simply ‘Patriarch of Jerusalem’ meaning the head bishop of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem; he held this position until his death. Along with his ecclesiastical duties Anthimos was also a scholar known particularly for his facility with languages. “Anthimos became well known as a fervent defender of Orthodoxy against Catholic proselytism which at that time was very active in Palestine. It was then that he composed first in Greek and then in Arabic his ‘Theological Treatise’ and ‘Interpretation of the Psalms.’ Having had them published in Vienna in 1791 – 92 he distributed thousands of copies of these works among the Arab Christians of the region. At the same time he enjoyed friendly relations with Sultan Selim III 1789-1807 who supported him in consolidating Orthodox rights in the Holy Land.“ Today this important Arabic book on Orthodox Christianity is very rarely seen.
