The Letter to the Armenians of Germanos, Patriarch of Constantinople
Travaux et Memoires. 2020. Vol. 24. No. 2. P. 65–103.
Lukhovitskiy L., Vardazaryan O.
The article offers the first commented English translation of the Letter to the Armenians (CPG 8001) by Germanos, Patriarch of Constantinople (715–30). The Letter is extant only in an early Armenian translation and until now was accessible to non-Armenologists in an incomplete and unreliable 19th-century Latin translation. The new translation is accompaniedby an introduction, which briefly discusses the polemical program of the Letter, its composition,date, intended addressee, conciliar and Patristic background, theological vocabulary, and method of argumentation. A comparison with another treatise attributed to Germanos, On Councils and Heresies, allows to discern a strong personal note in the discussion of Monothelitism in the final chapters of the Letter. The goal of this section was to dissociate the idea of a church union with the Armenians from negative associations it could have had after Bardanes Philippikos’ attempt of Monothelite restoration (712) and reinstate Germanos’ reputation as an uncompromising Dyothelite.

Впервые делается попытка рассмотреть особенности фанфикшн как акта продуктивной рецепции, возникшего на основе цикла романов Терри Пратчетта о Плоском мире в России. Проведенный анализ показывает, что прежде всего авторы фанфиков стремятся передать стилистику и комическое начало оригинального цикла Пратчетта, вне зависимости от жанра и формата создаваемых ими произведений. Фикрайтеры наиболее часто обращаются к таким форматам, ...

Статья посвящена проблеме авторского самосознания Максима Грека, рассматриваемого через призму его эпистолярного наследия. В историографии самоидентификация афонского монаха трактовалась по-разному. Автор предлагает сосредоточиться на текстах посланий Максима, где его самосознание раскрывается с наибольшей полнотой. Центральным объектом анализа становится малоизученное «Послание Василию III по поводу нашествия крымского хана». В Послании фиксируется многослойность идентичности Максима до осуждения ...

The academic vocabulary used to describe the Iconoclastic Controversy in Byzantium includes both authentic Middle Greek lexemes and artificial terms coined in 16th–17th-century Western Europe, developed in the context of Reformation theological debates. The former category is largely represented by terms referring to the so-called Iconoclasts (εἰκονομάχοι, εἰκονοκλάσται, εἰκονοκαῦ[σ]ται), while the latter includes designations for ...

The controversy over the confiscation of church vessels during the reign of Alexios I is referred to as ‘Komnenian Iconoclasm.’ However, its salient feature is the reluctance of both parties to accuse their opponents of Iconoclasm. Alexios’ supporters and adversaries mastered the art of periphrasis and allusion, so that the shadow of Iconoclasm loomed over ...
