General of the Carmelites, d. about 1235. All that is known is that he was prior
of Mount Carmel, some say for twenty-seven, others, more correctly, for three
years, and that he had the reputation of being a prophet. One of the
pseudo-prophecies, given out towards the end of the thirteenth century by the
Franciscan Spirituals, and attributed to St. Cyril of Jerusalem, became known to
Guido de Perpignan and other Carmelites at Paris, who ascribed it to their
former general, now considered a saint and a doctor of the Church, his feast
being introduced in 1399. In the Breviary lessons he was also confounded with
Cyril of Alexandria. When the mistake was discovered (1430, but the confusion
was maintained in the Venice Breviary, 1542), his title of doctor was justified
by attributing to him a work, of which no trace exists, on the procession of the
Holy Ghost. The prophecy or angelic oracle "Divinum oraculum S. Cyrillo
Carmelitae Constantinopolitano solemni legatione angeli missum (ed. Phllippus a
SS. Trinitate, Lyons, 1663), so called because it is supposed to have been
brought by an angel while Cyril was saying Mass, is a lengthy document of eleven
chapters in incomprehensible language, with a commentary falsely ascribed to
Abbot Joachim. It is first mentioned by Arnold of Villanova, c. 1295;
Telesphorus of Cosenza applied it to the Western Schism and treated it as an
utterance of the Holy Ghost. Another writing erroneously attributed to Cyril is
"De processu sui Ordinis", by a contemporary, probably a French author; edited
by Daniel a Virgine Mariâ in "Speculurn Carmelitarurn" (Antwerp, 1680), I, 75.
