| Summary: | This anthropological treatise from the late fourth century, while well known for a long time, is still in many ways an unexplored text. Its author is supposed to have been bishop of Emesa, but apart from this one writing we do not know anything about him. His Christian credentials are unequivocal and pervasive, yet his account unapologetically presents the collected philosophical and medical lore of antiquity on a par with insights from the Jewish–Christian tradition in a manner otherwise unheard of in Byzantium until much later. |
