ΚΕΡΚΥΡΑ (Πόλη) ΙΟΝΙΑ ΝΗΣΙΑ
Georgius, of Corcyra, or Corfu. Two archbishops of the name of George occupied
the see of Corcyra, one in the twelfth, and one in the thirteenth century. The
elder of the two was in favour with the emperor Manuel Comnenus, who gave him
the charge of fortifying the town of Corfu, which Manuel had taken from the Normans
of Southern Italy. The emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who had hostile intentions
against Manuel, endeavoured to induce George to betray the island to him, but
in vain. George's answer is preserved by Baronius. George was sent A. D. 1178
by Manuel to attend the third Lateran (eleventh General) Council at Rome, and
also to meet Frederick Barbarossa ; but he was detained six months by sickness
at Brindisi or Otranto, and the council was closed before his recovery. He was
therefore recalled by Manuel. Baronius gives a Latin version of several of George's
letters. (Baron. Annal. Eccles. ad Annos 1176, 1178, 1179, 1180, 1188; Allatius,
ibid. p. 38. &c.; Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii.; Ondin, Comment de Script. Eccles.
vol. ii. col. 1536.)

Georgius, of Corcyra, or Corfu, the younger, was the author of several works,
especially of one against the Minorite Friars, and of another on the use of leavened
bread in the eucharist. Allatius and Cave confound this George of Corfu with the
preceding, but Oudin has shown that they must be distinguished, and fixes the
date of the younger about A. D. 1236. Allatius, in some of his works, has quoted
passages from George of Corfu on the procession of the Holy Spirit, and on the
fire of purgatory, but we have no means of ascertaining to which of the two these
passages belong. (Allatius and Cave, ll. cc.; Oudin, l. c. and vol. iii. col.
110.)
