Description
Summary:Here is a useful addition to a good series. A brief curriculum vitae of the contentious bishop of Alexandria and an outline of his thought introduce a varied selection of sufficiently annotated texts in translation. Englished here from the original Greek are the complete sermon ‘On the mystical Supper’ preserved under the name of Cyril of Alexandria and a few short passages likewise extant in Greek; from the Latin versions by Jerome a couple of Festal Letters; and from the Coptic tradition two homilies. The passages fall under three heads: homilies, ecclesiastical legislation, and the Origenist controversy.
