'''Jeremias II Tranos''' (c. [[1530]], [[Anchialos]] - [[1595]], [[Constantinople]]), was [[Patriarch of Constantinople]] several times between [[1572]] and [[1595]].

Jeremias, from the influential Tranos family, was elected in [[1572]] as patriarch for the first time. He was deposed in [[1579]], because the Ottoman rulers had set limits on the maximum duration of a patriarch's rule, but he was re-elected the next year, and again in [[1585]].

From 1576 to 1581 he conducted the first important theological exchanges between Oxthodoxy and Protestants. Lutherans Jakob Andreae and Martin Crusius from Tübingen presented the Patriarch with a translated copy of the Augsburg Confession. Jeremias II wrote three rebuttals known as 'Answers,' which established that the Orthodox Church had no desire for reformation. The Lutherans replied to the first two letters, but the third letter ended in a deadlocked disagreement between the parties. The significance of the exchanges were that they presented, for the first time in a precise and clear way, where the Orthodox and Reformation churches stood in relation to each other.

He is also known for his role in establishing the Moscow patriarchate during his trip to Russia in [[1589]]. Jeremias firstly suggested himself as a candidature for the first Patriarch of Moscow, but Boris Godunov suggested that his residence should be Vladimir, a largely enpoverished town at this time. Jeremias instead consecrated Boris's associate, Metropolitan Jove, as Patriarch.
