  Another early Palaiologan compendium extends its ambit to cover rhetoric and medicine as well as the whole of philosophy. This is the Encyclopedia of Joseph Rhakendytes (aka Joseph the Philosopher, died 1330). Joseph drew heavily on the works of his Byzantine predecessors. His part on logic reproduces Blemmydes’ Epitome logica with some additions; his part on natural philosophy combines works by Blemmydes with works by Pachymeres and Michael of Ephesus; his part on the quadrivial disciplines is identical with the Logic and Quadrivium by the anonymous of 1007.
