Symeon of Thessalonica
He got only as far at Mount Athos, narrowly escaping capture by the Ottoman forces beginning their siege.Venetian rule, however, could not prevent the Ottomans from maintaining their siege, and conditions in the city remained desperate.His death, probably in September 1429, came shortly before Thessalonica finally fell to the Ottomans in March 1430.Symeon wrote a number theological and liturgical works, which were imperfectly edited in Iaşi in 1683, reprinted by Migne in PG 155.It begins with a lengthy anti-heretical section and then deals with each the church's religious services.
