TABLE OF CONTENTS
THEOPHYLACTUS, ARCHBISHOP OF BULGARIA DISSERTATION OF J. F. BERN. MARLE DE RUBEIS ON THE DEEDS, WRITINGS, AND DOCTRINE OF THEOPHYLACT. 9 CHAPTER I. Writers who assert that Theophylact flourished in the ninth century. The cause of the anachronism; they falsely identify him with a bishop of the same name who was sent in that century to instruct the Bulgarians. But it is not established that he was called by that name. 9 CHAPTER II. Baronius demonstrates, through the authority of his letters, that Archbishop Theophylact did not live in the ninth century. He places him in the eleventh century, under the emperors Michael Ducas, Nicephorus Botoniates, and Alexius Comnenus. More recent bibliographers and writers disagree by a certain interval, and Dufresne especially determines the times of the sole reign of Alexius Comnenus. 11 CHAPTER III. Antonius Pagius agrees with Baronius that Theophylact lived also under Michael Ducas and Nicephorus Botoniates. His argument is examined, which is drawn from the book of the *Royal Institution*. This same timeframe is indicated by a letter to John Italus the philosopher, whose varied fortunes are recounted by Anna Comnena. Other letters confirm the chronology. 15 CHAPTER IV. He flourished without doubt under the Emperor Alexius Comnenus. The letter of the same Theophylact to Caesar Nicephorus Melissenus, where he speaks of the death of the emperor, or of Constantine, or of Michael. Likewise concerning Gregory Camaterus. 19 CHAPTER V. He also reached the twelfth century, and the seventh year of that century, in which the Norman Bohemond invaded Bulgaria, as noted by Dufresne. The opinion of this most famous man is confirmed. Mention of the captivity of the same Bohemond in a letter to Gregory Taronites. Other letters confirm the same chronology. 22 CHAPTER VI. What was Theophylact’s homeland? Was it Constantinople or Euripus? He served as a deacon in the great church of the royal city. When he was promoted to the archbishopric of Bulgaria. He flourished in sacred letters and humanistic studies. His vain desire to renounce his office. 26 CHAPTER VII. The beginning of the Church of Bulgaria under its own kings. The contention between Roman pontiffs and Byzantine bishops regarding jurisdiction over it. It was not subject to the throne of Constantinople. When the province was subjugated by the Greek emperors, the Church maintained its autocephaly, and Theophylact defended it against the claims of Stauropegion. Morinus and John Lonicerus corrected. 27 CHAPTER VIII. The jurisdiction of the archbishopric of Bulgaria was first somewhat vague, then annexed to the see of Achrida. The location and founder of the city of Achrida. Revolts in Bulgaria in Theophylact’s time, and the dishonesty of the Byzantine tax collectors. His ecclesiastical solicitude. 31 CHAPTER IX. Theophylact wrote Commentaries on the four Gospels, it seems by order of Empress Maria: the principal codices. The first Latin edition with the version of Johannes Oecolampadius from a mutilated Greek codex. The edition of the Greek text from the Vatican codex, which is examined. Through its aid, the Latin interpretation was known by Philippus Montanus: Latinius’s Observations. The edition of Siensic, of which the defects are judged, and Fabricius is noted. 34 CHAPTER X. The method preserved by Theophylact in his Commentaries: specifically, by condensing into a summary that which he draws from John Chrysostom. He sometimes chooses the expositions of others more sparingly. Whether all the allegories are his own or were inserted by others is examined. Some are written by his own hand: he teaches the theology of the Greeks of his age. 39 CHAPTER XI. Laurentius Sifanus published the Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles in Greek and Latin: codices, editions, and a specimen of the work. With Christophorus Porsena as interpreter, a Commentary on the Epistles of Saint Paul was published under the name of Athanasius, namely the Alexandrian; Lonicerus and Montanus recognize the Latin version and attribute the work to Theophylact. Latinius attributes it to Athanasius of Byzantium, an opinion which is refuted by the authority of the codices. The London Greek-Latin edition: and a judgment upon that Commentary itself. 42 CHAPTER XII. The Commentary on the Catholic Epistles, which has not yet seen the light in either Latin or Greek, is contained in the Vienna and Paris codices. An Exposition on the four minor prophets, translated into Latin, appeared in a mutilated state under the care of Lonicerus: its defect was supplied by Christoph. Henricus Ritmejerus. The codices, the Venetian Marcianus and the Vienna codex, contain the exposition on the five minor prophets: the entire work is in the Bavarian-Munich codex, compiled by Theophylact by order of Empress Maria. 47 CHAPTER XIII. Eleven homilies on as many matutinal resurrection gospels of the Lord are attributed to Theophylact in the codices. However, they are entirely the same as Theophylact’s Commentaries on the same gospels, except for the final part of the eleventh homily. It seems a later Greek added this final part and arranged Theophylact’s Commentaries into the aforementioned homilies. 50 CHAPTER XIV. A homily which, for the adoration of the venerable cross in the middle of the fast, Jacob Greiser published in Greek and Latin: another on the Presentation of the holy Virgin Mary in the temple, published in Latin by Francis Combefis. Fragments of a letter to Nicolaus the deacon and *kanstrisius* in Leunclavius in the *Jus Graeco-Romanum*: it exists whole in the Vienna codex, with an explanation of the word *kanstrisius*. The same contains various brief works which were distinguished by bibliographers. 51 CHAPTER XV. The *Royal Institution* addressed to Constantine Porphyrogenitus, edited in Greek and Latin by Petrus Possinus, and an oration to Emperor Alexius Comnenus in the Bavarian-Munich codex. Unpublished poems, and letters published by Baronius and Meursius. Doubtful and supposititious works. 53 CHAPTER XVI. Some chapters of Theophylact’s doctrine discussed in a special examination: and first, he disapproves of the pretext for the schism of the Greeks, taken from the difference in rites. He deals especially with the oblation of unleavened bread, and the fasting on the Sabbath. The eating of animals strangled, which he condemns, is defended as innocent. Patriarch Peter of Antioch and Demetrius Chomatenus, Archbishop of Bulgaria, favor the Latins. 62 CHAPTER XVII. Theophylact teaches in a letter to Nicolaus the deacon that the Holy Eucharist was instituted by Christ the Lord in unleavened bread. Likewise in his Commentaries on Matthew and Luke. He is not inconsistent in his Commentary on John, where he teaches that Christ had anticipated his Pascha. The locus of Matthew is corrupt in some codices: the origin of the corruption. Perhaps the locus of Mark is also corrupt, which is nevertheless defended. 66 CHAPTER XVIII. Yet he fights for the Greek rite of consecration in leavened bread. His arguments are very slight and varied. Likewise against the fast of the Sabbath. He wrongly cites the canons of the apostles. The authority of the sixth synod is falsely adduced, which is taken for the Trullan synod. His many lapses.A CAP. XIX. — He inveighs rather boldly against the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son. A refutation of his arguments by John Beccus, with our own observations: wherein the temporal mission of the Holy Spirit is treated at length. How Theophylact eventually reduced the sum of the Latin error, as they call it, to the mere addition of the word "Filioque" to the Creed. Thus did some of the Greeks think. 81
CAP. XX. — He teaches wrongly and falsely that the suffrages of the faithful are of benefit to certain of the dead who depart this life stained with grave sins: some Latin doctors are noted. The Confession of Faith of the Russians is examined and refuted. The cause of the error. The unblemished doctrine of Thomas Aquinas. 93
CAP. XXI. — It is Theophylact's opinion that the spirits of pious men, who once freed from the body stand in no need of purification, are received into the kingdom of heaven. Whether he also taught that they are granted the divine vision is investigated. He detracts from the Virgin Mother of God the privilege of immunity from all sin, even venial; a position common to certain other Church Fathers. 99
B CAP. XXII. — He discourses in a confused and ambiguous manner concerning divine election and predestination, and the necessity of grace. Oecolampadius and Simionius are noted. The first rule, which Sixtus Senensis established, is applied to Theophylact’s statements. Petavius illustrates this. The second rule of the same Senensis. Concerning divine foreknowledge, which the Greek Fathers or writers admit: the observations of Petavius. Their primary concern was to defend free will: the notion of it. 103
CAP. XXIII. — He discourses most clearly and without any evasion concerning the real presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, and concerning transubstantiation. Most trifling are the trifles which the heterodox set against this: Salmasius, Albertinus, and Claudius. 111
CAP. XXIV. — Possevinus accuses Oecolampadius concerning corrupted passages where Theophylact was teaching the primacy of Saint Peter. Many extra- C ordinary testimonies exist. Philip Mornay is refuted. A passage of the same Theophylact is examined in his letter to the deacon and chartophylax Nicholas; Pithou is corrected. That the prophecy of Micah against the Jews is not taken away from Christians, as Peter Daniel Huetius wrongly noted. 117
CAP. XXV. — The New Testament codex which Theophylact used, integral in the final chapter of Saint Mark. Mutilated in John, where it treats of the adulteress. A specimen of interpolations and genuine readings. What the division of the codex into chapters and smaller sections consists of. 122
CAP. XXVI. — Concerning the Venetian edition of all the works of Theophylact. 127
