Five Anastasiae and Two Febroniae
In this concluding part of the study of the western hagiographical dossier of St Anastasia, the attention is focused on two main problems: the earliest cult of St Anastasia in Sirmium (replacing the cult of St Bassilla with the cult of St Anastasia) and the cult of Anastasia and Petronilla in the St Andrew church created by Pope Symmachus near St Peter’s cathedral. The development of the cult of St Petronilla (the legendary daughter of Apostle Pe…

Five Anastasiae and Two Febroniae
The present article is a part of the study of the hagiographical dossier of St Anastasia, where the authors focus on three major problems: 1) the earliest Roman legends containing the name of Anastasia and other names occurring in her dossier; 2) the cult of the historical martyr in Sirmium that was lately transformed into the cult of St Anastasia; and 3) the place of the Anastasia church in the pre-Byzantine stational liturgy in Rome. The latter…
The Slavonic Solunskaja Legenda (“The Legend of Thessalonica”) and Its Syriac Original
The Slavonic eschatological apocryphon Solunskaja Legenda (“The Legend of Thessalonica”) is a direct translation from Syriac. The archetype of the extant recensions is datable to 893–972. It was created, in the First Bulgarian Empire, on the base of an earlier Slavonic text that did not mention the Bulgarians. The Sitz im Leben of the original Syriac recension and its Slavonic translation is a Syrian monothelete colony in North Macedonia (then, a…
Five Anastasiae and Two Febroniae
Sections from 1 to 4 of Part Two of our study, which is dedicated to the western legends of Anastasia, are focused on an investigation of the Aquileian legend and, then, going in the reverse chronological order, on the early Roman legend before its reception in Aquileia. The plot line dedicated to Chrysogonus is an Aquileian addition lacking from the earlier Roman legend. The pious mother of Anastasia called Fausta belongs to the same plot line, …
Holy Healers in Rome
The article is dedicated to four saints represented in the Chapel of Holy Physicians in Santa Maria Antiqua church in Rome. Two saints are identified for the first time (Jonas and Procopius), one previously hypothetical identification is confirmed (Barachisius), and the meaning of the cult of St Dometius in Rome is discussed. The hagiographical dossier of Sts Jonas and Barachisius is examined in detail. Based on this examination, it is argued tha…
Five Anastasiae and Two Febroniae
The recent data related to the legend of St Anastasia in Byzantium require a fresh analysis of the mutually connected cults of Anastasia and Febronia in both the Christian East and West. Part One of the present study is focused on the East, whereas Part Two will be focused on the Latin West. In Part One, the cult of Anastasia is discussed especially in Constantinople from the mid-fifth to the fourteenth centuries, with special attention to the ep…
"Conciliarity"
The New Critical Edition of the Martyrdom of the Fifteen Martyrs of Tiberioupolis (BHG 1199) by Irini-Sophia Kiapidou and Several Problems of the Text
The review-article discusses the new critical edition of BHG 1199 and its traditional attribution to Theophylact of Ohrid (which is rejected). The legend representing the conversion of Bulgaria with no participation of Cyril and Methodius or their disciples must go back to the tenth century First Bulgarian kingdom
Eustratius of Nicaea, a Theologian
Being the most prominent philosopher and theologian of his epoch (late 11th-early 12th cent.), Eustratius of Nicaea provoked important theological discussions in the fields of both Christology and Triadology. He was eventually condemned (1117) for his Christological views, but his Triadology faced a strong opposition as well. His Byzantine opponents unfavourable to the Latins rejected his logically consistent approach to the Trinity and developed…
Asceticism of the Mind
Does Human Soul Have an Owner
In the mainstream anthropology of Byzantine patristics, the human “I” is twice inconsistent, being identical to but different from a “part of God” and, in the created world, being not a something while without being a nothing. The latter kind of inconsistency was described as well by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his peculiar doctrine of subjectivity
Armenia between Byzantium and the Orient
The Syriac Aḥiqar, Its Slavonic Version, and the Relics of the Three Youths in Babylon
The author argues that the earliest recension of the Slavonic Aḥiqar (Povestʹ ob Akire Premudrom) was produced in Bulgaria as a direct translation from Syriac, whereas the original Christian (Syriac) recension was created in the Syriac-speaking anti-Chalcedonian milieu within the Sassanid Iranian Empire in the late fifth century; in this latter context, it originated as a hagiographic legend inaugurating a new cult directed against the pro-Chalce…
Kéntros, another Term of Mesopotamian Origin in the Ethiopian Astronomy
The Ethiopic term kentros “1/30” goes back to Akkadian mišlu through a lost meaning of the Greek astronomical term κέντρον
