| Résumé: | Sophronius hovers at the edge of popular consciousness as the bishop (patriarch, indeed) of Jerusalem who invited the conquering Caliph Omar on his entry into the city to pray in the church of the Resurrection; and was answered, with a certain generosity of spirit, that were he to do so his Muslim followers would expropriate it. Sophronius, less irenically disposed, uttered under his breath the prophecy, now—he perceived—fulfilled, that the abomination of desolation would appear in the Holy Place. That, at any rate, is the story, as Gibbon tells it, in chapter 51, on the evidence of Theophanes the Chronographer; and it may be true. |
