14 Sherwood (1952), 3; see his full analysis of Amb. 7 in Sherwood (1955a),
72–222.
15 On Messalianism and the Macarian Homilies, see Stewart (1991).
16 See the footnote, ad loc. Other allusions to the Macarian Homilies can
be found by consulting the index fontium in the editions of Maximus’
works in Corpus Christianorum. Series Graeca. See the Bibliography.
17 See, e.g., Amb. 20 (1236D–1241D) and Myst. 5 (672D–684A).
18 See, e.g., Amb. 19:1236C, Myst. prologue: 660B.
19 On Maximus’ understanding of religious experience, see Miquel (1966).
20 See des Places (1966), 9–10, citing Marrou (1943).
21 The quotation is from Century on Spiritual Knowledge 5(desPlaces
[1966], 86) and concerns the meaning of thelesis: Opusc. 26:277C;
Dialogue with Pyrrhus [Opusc. 28], 28:301 C.
22 See des Places (1966), 66–7, and also his article in Heinzer and
Schönborn (1982), 29–35.

Cappadocians on Maximus, see G.C.Berthold in Heinzer and Schönborn
(1982), 51–9.
