| Summary: | A small book appeared in Geneva in 1629 under the title, Confessio Fidei Reverendissimi Domini Cyrilli, Patriarchae Constantinopolitani. French, English, and German translations circulated during the same year. Two years later a Greek edition of the same book turned up in Constantinople under a more elaborate title,—“Eastern Confession of the Christian Faith. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. For the benefit of those asking and inquiring about the faith and the religion of the Greeks, i. e. of the Eastern Church, as to how they think of their Orthodox faith, Cyril, Patriarch of Constantinople, publishes in the name of all the Christians this brief Confession as a testimony to God and to men, in a clear conscience and without any reservations.” Below this were the words, “I, Cyril, Patriarch of Constantinople, wrote it in my own hand. Given in Constantinople, in the month of January, 1631.” |
