**Damaskinos Stouditis** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Δαμασκηνός Στουδίτης; Latin: Damascenus Studites) was a high-ranking Greek ecclesiastic and writer in the sixteenth century. Born in [Thessaloniki](/source/Thessaloniki) around 1500, he became a monk in [Constantinople](/source/Constantinople), where he was a student of Thomas (Theophanes) Eleavoulkos Notaras at the [Patriarchal Academy](/source/Phanar_Greek_Orthodox_College). In 1564 he was appointed Bishop of [Lete](/source/Lete_(Mygdonia)) and [Rendina](/source/Rendina). In 1574 he was promoted to Metropolitan of [Nafpaktos](/source/Studite_monks) and [Arta](/source/Arta%2C_Greece), and later became Patriarchal Exarch of [Aitolia](/source/Aetolia). He died in 1577.[1]

Sometime before 1558, when he was still a subdeacon (ὑποδιάκονος), Damaskinos composed his most famous and popular work, the *Thesauros* (Θησαυρός), a compendium of 36 sermons devoted to passages of the Bible. Written in contemporary vernacular Greek, this work reveals Damaskinos’ wide knowledge of scriptural, patristic, historical and philosophical literature. Since its *[editio princeps](/source/List_of_editiones_principes_in_Greek)* in Venice [in 1568](/source/Editio_princeps),[2] the *Thesauros* has been published in numerous editions.[3] The text was translated into Turkish (1731; unpublished) and several Slavic languages.
