Michael Italicus or Italikos ( Greek: Μιχαήλ Ἰταλικός; fl. 1130–57) was a Byzantine medical instructor (didaskalos iatron) at the Pantokrator hospital that had been established by Emperor John II Komnenos (r. 1118–43) in 1136. [1] Pantokrator was a medical centre, at which Italicus lectured and explained physicians Hippocrates (460–370 BC) and Galen (129–200), and illustrated diseases through patient cases. [1] His pupil Theodore Prodromos described smallpox. [1] Between 1147 and 1166 he served as the Archbishop of Philippopolis. [2]
He wrote a monody on the death of Andronikos, son of Alexios I. He delivered basilikoi logoi (encomia) to the emperors John II and Manuel I. [3]
