Theodore the Stoudite was one of the most influential Byzantine authors and ecclesiastical authorities, playing a prominent role in the defense of icons during the second period of the iconoclastic controversy (early ninth century). The present publication from the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library series translates for the first time into English three medieval Greek texts—the Life of Theodore of Stoudios by Michael the Monk, the Encyclical Letter of Naukratios, and the Translation and Burial of the Remains of Theodore of Stoudios and Joseph of Thessalonike—which, notwithstanding their different authorship, compositional date, and purposes, revolve around the life, contests, death, burial, and reburial of this ecclesiastical authority. The texts are given in the original with a facing English translation and are accompanied by an Introduction, Abbreviations, Note on the Texts, Notes to the Texts, Notes to the Translations, a Bibliography, and an Index. With this volume once again the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library series succeeds in advancing its mission, which is to offer to a wider audience (academic and lay) an engaging translation complemented by erudite notes that elucidate the three medieval Greek works’ textual witnesses and transmission history and analyze their context and content.

"The three texts contained in this volume, translated into English for the first time, commemorate the life of one of the most celebrated of Byzantine churchmen. Theodore of Stoudios (759-826) played a leading role in both monastic and political life in Byzantium. He is celebrated as a saint in the Orthodox Church, particularly for his stalwart defense of icon veneration during the period of Second Iconoclasm. He was also responsible for lasting reforms in monastic organization, widely imitated by later founders throughout the empire. The survival of much of his vast literary output-homilies, letters, verses, and hagiography-testifies to his lasting influence"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
