One of the most mysterious texts from the Second Byzantine Iconoclasm (815-843) is the so-called Synodical Letter, purportedly sent by Patriarchs Christopher of Alexandria, Job of Antioch, and Basil of Jerusalem to Emperor Theophilos in 836. The earliest reference thereto is dated 945, whereas the oldest extant manuscript fragment is written in the ninth-century uncial. But was it a real missive or a pious forgery? Several Greek texts deriving from the lost original do not provide sufficient ground for a confident answer. Among the main problems is the lack of protocol elements indispensable for a document of this kind. Those elements, however, are present in the Slavonic text entitled Mnogosložnyj Svitok. A thorough scrutiny has revealed that this is the closest version we possess to the original Letter
Note:
This book presents a critical editon of the Slavonic text together with corresponding Greek fragments, English translation, and glossary. Russian translation is also attached
