| Summary: | These two heavy and—for my bookshelves—oversized volumes, printed handsomely on shiny paper (for the benefit of especially useful maps and illustrative plates), afford a comprehensive and indeed noble dossier of the life and works of the foremost theologian and church-politician of the century before Maximus. All the facts of importance are catalogued here. If often the same facts appear under different headings, that is properly so since almost all the evidence derives from analysis of the letters dealing with church affairs which Severus wrote during his period of office as Patriarch of Antioch (512–18). There too he preached the sermons which, like the letters, survived in Syriac dress their author’s condemnation in 536 by the state church. |
