Alexander
the MONK (Ἀλέξανδρος μοναχός), perhaps a native of Cyprus. All we know of his age is, that he lived before Michael Glycas, A. D. 1120, who quotes him. Two orations by him are extant. 1. A Panegyric on St. Barnabas, apud Bollandi Acta Sanctorum, vol. xxi. p. 436. 2. Concerning the Invention of the Cross, apud Gretser. de Cruce Christi, 4to. Ingolst. 1600.
