| Summary: | The Endemousa Synod of 536 was convoked at Justinian’s order in Constantinople for the purpose of examining the case of the already deposed patriarch of Constantinople Anthimus. Upon the announcement of the verdict against Anthimus in the end of the fourth session, requests for the Synod’s ratification of the earlier condemnations of Severus of Antioch and Peter of Apamea were raised by the assembly. The Synod meets again to grant the demands by conducting a trial in absentia by proxy of documents. The paper discusses how the Acts of the fifth session of the Endemousa are constructed upon the presentation and insertion into the record of the proceedings of both contemporary texts and dossiers of documents stemming from the time after Justin’s ascension to the throne. It also demonstrates how the editorial process shaped the form of the Acts. |
