The Life of Georgius or Gregorius Cyprius, Patriarch of Constantinople, which is brought to light for the first time in Greek from the Leiden MS with a Latin interpretation and notes; there are added two historical and dogmatic dissertations, with a letter of the same Cyprius to a friend, and one from Moschamper, the ex-chartophylax, to him; by which the Byzantine History of Georgius Pachymeres is illustrated; authored by Fr. Jo. Franc. Bern. M. De Rubeis, of the Order of Preachers. 17 To the Reader. 17 A sermon of Gregorius Cyprius on his own particular history. 19 Historical, chronological, and critical notes on the preceding Life of Georgius or Gregorius Cyprius. 31 First historical and dogmatic dissertation on the primary deeds of Georgius or Gregorius Cyprius: and concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and from the Son, or through the Son. 47

CAP. I. — A notice of some patriarchs who preceded Gregorius Cyprius. The year is examined in which Arsenius was deposed as patriarch a second time; and also the year in which Germanus assumed and abdicated the dignity: Possinus, Bandurius, and Cuperus are corrected. Also the year of the elevation of Josephus Galesiotes to the patriarchal seat. The factions of the Arsenians and Josephites. 47 CAP. II. — Georgius Cyprius is ordained lector by patriarch Josephus, and is ascribed to the palatine clergy, with the title of proto-apostolaris. Emperor Michael Palaeologus takes care that the union of both Churches, Latin and Greek, be constituted. The controversy about the status of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father, and from the Son, or through the Son. The timing of the controversy. Cyprius provides his support to the Emperor, together with others, against patriarch Josephus and Joannes Beccus the chartophylax. 56 CAP. III. — Joannes Beccus, having diligently weighed the testimonies of the Fathers, changes his opinion, and fights for the Catholic dogma: the testimonies of some Fathers. A certain convention having been entered into, patriarch Josephus withdraws for a time into a monastery. Legates are sent to the Council of Lyons; Petavius is corrected. The union of the Churches is constituted. The decree of faith is set forth. 67 CAP. IV. — Patriarch Josephus abdicates the seat, and Joannes Beccus is chosen. Many writings are issued by him on behalf of the Catholic dogma, while Gregorius Cyprius still professes, or feigns to profess, the right faith. Emperor Michael, and Andronicus his colleague, and patriarch Beccus, profess faith and obedience to the Roman Pontiff by an oath taken. Accusations are brought against Beccus, and the right of stauropegium is taken from him by the emperor. Papa's nuncios act for the addition of the "Filioque" to the Symbol. 71 CAP. V. — Patriarch Beccus withdraws into a monastery, and shortly after returns to the patriarchal residence. A deceitful pamphlet is composed, to be offered to the Roman Pontiff. Beccus refutes the writings, the essence of which is brought forward and illustrated: and the matter of the "Hoplotheca" of Andronicus Camaterus is handled. The genuine sense of the anathemas, which Beccus himself had instructed to be read publicly in the Church. Emperor Michael dies: where the year of his death is discussed. Andronicus succeeds, who breaks the established peace of the Churches: and Beccus withdraws back into a monastery. 75 CAP. VI. — Josephus Galesiotes is promoted again to be patriarch by Andronicus; and Beccus is sent into exile to Prusa, a matter also advised by Georgius Cyprius. He writes an "Antirrhetic" sermon against the blasphemies of Beccus. Beccus replies with an oration, which is seen to be the second oration written wrongly into the Tome of Cyprius. The assertions of this, with the refutation of Beccus and our own animadversions. What the mission of the persons is, and in what its proper reasoning is placed, is elucidated in a broader discourse. The location of the homily on the Holy Spirit under the name of John Chrysostom is examined. 87 CAP. VII. — Patriarch Josephus dies; Georgius Cyprius is substituted for him, having been called Gregorius in the monastic profession preceding his sacred ordination. A synod is held at Blachernae, and another at Adramyttium in Mysia Asiatica: the Chronotaxis. A colloquy with Beccus and his associates, recalled from Prusa, concerning the Procession of the Holy Spirit: which is illustrated by animadversions. Beccus himself is relegated to the castle of Saint Gregory. 101 CAP. VIII. — A task is imposed upon patriarch Gregorius Cyprius, that he should set forth and reconcile the testimonies of Joannes Damascenus in a tome which might be read openly and publicly in the church. Grave difficulties are found in it. Beccus refutes it and accuses Cyprius of a new heresy, which was later called Palamite. Cyprius refuses to correct the Tome; nevertheless, he writes many apologetic pamphlets. The mind of Saint Joannes Damascenus is set forth more diligently. The judgment of Saint Thomas Aquinas concerning the Damascene. Also concerning Theodoret. An anacephalaiosis of the doctrines against the objections of Photius. 108 CAP. IX. — Patriarch Gregorius Cyprius withdraws into a monastery. He treats of abdicating the dignity, provided that he receives a testimony regarding his orthodoxy. On this matter, a letter written by him, now published for the first time in Greek and Latin, and his chronic notes. A promise made by Georgius Moschamper in letters given, which now appear in Latin for the first time. Cyprius leaves the patriarchal seat, with a written libel of abdication, which Pachymeres criticizes on many counts. Athanasius the monk from Mount Ganos is chosen: Gregorius dies. The letter of Georgius Cyprius to a friend. 125 The letter of Moschamper. 129 CAP. X. — Various errors of the Greeks concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit are collected together: and first, that the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Father through the Son. Others said that in the procession of the same Spirit from the Father, the Son provides an instrumental ministry. Denying the order of origin and all efficiency to the preposition "through," some affirmed that the Holy Spirit proceeds through the Son, just as if it were proceeding with the Son: Gabriel Severus is refuted. Gregorius Cyprius, restoring efficiency to the preposition, referred it to a certain eternal explendescence of the Holy Spirit, distinct from the Deity. A more frequent error is that the Holy Spirit is taken for the temporal largesse of gifts: and that this is from the Son, and through the Son, just as from the Father, and from the Spirit himself also. Some Acts in the Florentine synod, and the Decree of union. 131 Second historical and dogmatic dissertation on the addition of the word "Filioque" to the Symbol: and concerning the taking of the pretext for the Greek schism from this. 143

CONTENTS OF THIS VOLUME

Cap. I. The judgment of John Beccus, Patriarch of Constantinople, concerning the addition of the word "Filioque" is examined against George Pachymeres. Additions of this kind are defended by the example of the Symbol which is called the Apostles', and which was in use in the Churches of the West and the East. Likewise, the Constantinopolitan Symbol, which is the Nicene augmented by additions, was received in use by some Churches, though not by others. 143

Cap. II. In the time of Pope Damasus and the Council of Constantinople, the particle "Filioque" was not added to the Symbol. Nevertheless, the Fathers of the Church teach and maintain it everywhere, defending the divinity of the Holy Spirit. The decree of the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus, by which new formulas of the Symbol are forbidden. The addition of the word "Filioque," which was made later, does not contradict this. The notable testimony of Cyril of Alexandria is examined. This addition, or omission, pertains to the discipline of the Church: the acts of the Council of Chalcedon. Certain peculiar professions of faith published in the manner of a Symbol, and approved in ecumenical councils. 156

Cap. III. The Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon and subsequent councils forbid the setting forth or writing of another faith, which is to say, one that opposes the true orthodox faith. After that same Council of Chalcedon, the Constantinopolitan Symbol was commonly accustomed to be called the Nicene. The Eastern Orthodox Churches made it a part of their Liturgy. The rule of faith, which is found appended to the Council of Toledo, is examined. In the ecumenical council, the particle "Filioque" was not added to the Symbol; but the Fathers used it everywhere outside the Symbol. 168

Cap. IV. The Church of the Spains in the sixth century received the addition to the Constantinopolitan Symbol: and they began to sing it during the solemnities of the Masses. This was also done in the eighth century by the Gallican Churches: the cause and occasion are exhibited, and the defenses of Paulinus of Aquileia are brought forward. The definition of the Nicene ecumenical council is examined: and certain assertions of Baronius are refuted. The Roman Church shows itself alien to the same Addition: the acts of the collation with Leo III are illustrated. Indeed, neither was the Symbol sung or read in the Liturgy in the same Roman Church at that age. 176

Cap. V. In the ninth century, in the time of Photius, the Roman Church had not augmented the Symbol with the word "Filioque": the frauds and fabrications of Photius. In the second half of the eleventh century, with the schism introduced by Michael Cerularius, the interpolated Symbol was in use in the same Roman Church: the true cause of the schism. At the beginning of the same century, the Church itself began to sing or recite the Symbol in the Liturgy. Whether it admitted the addition at that same time, or beforehand, there are various opinions: which are examined. Whether, finally, it ever used the Constantinopolitan Symbol, and that interpolated one, in the administration of baptism: the rite of the Church of Aquileia is exhibited. 195

Cap. VI. The vain pretext of the Greeks for the schism from the Roman Church taken from the addition of the word "Filioque." Their objections are refuted. 211

Index of names and principal matters contained in the Life of George Cyprius, in the notes, and in the dissertations. 221 In the following, the admonition of Anselm Banduri concerning the apologetic writings of George Cyprius. 227

George Cyprius's Exposition of the faith. To this is added the epistle of John Chilas, Metropolitan of Ephesus, to the emperor. 233 Against the Christian from among the Jews, Mark. 247 Apology for the "Tomus," suspected of perverse doctrine. 251 Epistle to the Emperor Andronicus. 267 CONCERNING THE PROCESSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 269 EULOGY OF SAINT GEORGE. 299 Prologus. 299 Cap. I. Saint George's fatherland, parents, voluntary offering, and first tortures before the tyrant. 301 Cap. II. Saint George emerges unharmed from the torture of the wheel and the pit of quicklime. 309 Cap. III. George, shod with red-hot greaves, reproves the tyrant. 315 Cap. IV. Witchcrafts separated, the dead raised. 327 Cap. V. George's final victory over the idols: the torture of beheading endured. 333 Epilogus. 341
