Description
Summary:The author of this piece (7522 in CPG), one of three which have come down under his name, was a disciple of the embattled Eutychius, bishop of Constantinople 552–65 and again 577–82. It was read and summarized by Photius (Codex 171). The editio princeps was made by Allatius in 1655 and his Latin translation repeated in PG 80; the repetition of the Greek in the projected PG 162 was a victim of the fire of 1868 which destroyed the press. Its theme is the attempted proof, from the Bible and the Fathers, (a) that the souls of the departed manifest their continuing conscious and active life in dreams and (b) that prayers and masses may appropriately be offered for them.
