Cosmas II Atticus (Greek: Κοσμᾶς ὁ Ἀττικός; died after 1147) was Patriarch of Constantinople from April 1146, until February 1147. He was born in Aegina, in Greece, and was a deacon of Hagia Sophia before his ascension, after Michael II Kourkouas abdicated. He was highly respected for his learning and for his holy character.[1] Cosmas reigned during the rule of Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus.[2]
