The Homilies of Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople: English Translation, Introduction and Commentary (Dumbarton Oaks Studies) (in English)
Cyril Mango
Synopsis "The Homilies of Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople: English Translation, Introduction and Commentary (Dumbarton Oaks Studies) (in English)"
The historical role of Photius has, all too often, been viewed only as it concerned the rift between the Western and Eastern Churches. He has been regarded either as the ""Father of the Schism"" or as the staunch defender of Greek Orthodoxy against the encroachments of Rome. It is hoped that by presenting the Homilies of Photius in English translation these one-sided views may to some extent be corrected. For, surprising though it may appear, we shall not find in the Homilies a single reference to the Papacy. When they are not purely didactic, the Homilies are dominated by such topics as the suppression of the Iconoclast movement, the re-establishment of sacred painting, the propagation of the true faith among heretics, and the quelling of internal division in the Church of Constantinople. -From the Introduction Cyril Mango is a British scholar of the history, art, and architecture of the Byzantine Empire. He is a former King's College London and Oxford professor of Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature.
