John of Antioch (translator)

The start of John's autograph manuscript of Cicero from 1282. The red text reads Ci comense le prologue que maistre Johan d'Anthioche fist ("Here begins the prologue that Master John of Antioch made").

John of Antioch, also known as Harent of Antioch, was a 13th-century Old French writer of Outremer who made important translations from Latin. He translated Cicero, Boethius, the Otia imperialia and possibly the rule of the Knights Hospitaller. His original writing consists of an epilogue to Cicero and some additional chapters appended to the Otia.
