Leontius of Jerusalem: Against the Monophysites: Testimonies of the Saints and Aporiae"Leontius of Jerusalem is known almost entirely for contributions to technical Christology in his Against the Nestorians. Yet his little-known and little-studied Testimonies of the Saints and Aporiae - presented here in full for the first time in a text based on the only textually-significant manuscript, and with a translation into modern English - have their own intrinsic interest. Both were addressed to a specific audience of anti-Chalcedonian ('Monophysite') churchmen, Syrians who considered the exiled patriarch of Antioch, Severus, to be their leader. Both were aimed at inducing anti-Chalcedonians to accept reconciliation with the official, Chalcedonian church at the time (the mid-530s) when the failure of initiatives sponsored by the Emperor Justinian suggested that outright separation was imminent, and new imperial initiatives were undertaken."--BOOK JACKET. |
