Andrew Louth - Syriac Christian Church

202 NOTES
9 It is perhaps worth emphasizing that we have, in fact, no very clear idea
from the Origenists themselves of their beliefs. The Origenism
condemned by Justinian is the Origenism, not of Origen himself, but of
Evagrius and his followers: see Guillaumont (1962), 124–70. This is
presumably the Origenism faced by Maximus, though, as we shall see,
occasionally what Maximus finds fault with seems more characteristic
of Origen himself than of Evagrius.
10 For Maximus and Origenism see Sherwood (1955a), esp. 72–222.
Sherwood argues against Balthasar’s claim that Maximus had
experienced a conversion from Origenism (for this, see esp. Balthasar
[1961], 482–643, a modified reprint of the original article of 1940).
11 This is the argument of Amb. 15 (1216A–1221B); it is not so
clearly expressed in the much longer (and presumably slightly earlier)
Amb. 7 (1068D–1101C).
12 See Gersh (1978), 218–22, 243–51.
13 See, e.g., Amb. 41–1308C.
14 Origen, Homily of Exodus 12. 4. See Louth (1981), 65–6.
15 Evagrius, Gnostic Centuries I.27.
16 See Daniélou (1954), 145–51.
17 On this see Balas (1966), 34–53.
18 E.g., Ep. 6:429D. And see on the whole subject, Thunberg (1965), 140–
52.
19 Amy Clampitt, Archaic Figure (London: Faber & Faber, 1988), 18.
20 For an exhaustive discussion of the reconciliation of these five divisions,
see Thunberg (1965), 396–454.
21 For a much fuller discussion of the cosmic role of the humanity of Christ,
see Heinzer (1980), 149–61.
22 See Riou (1973), 123–200.
23 This second part is sufficiently detailed for it to be possible to
reconstruct the sequence of the liturgy of Maximus’ day, as has been
done in Brightman (1896), 534–9.
24 For a brief account of the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, see Louth (1989), 52–
77.

3 I have often been content with Migne references, especially where (as
with the modern critical edition of Denys the Areopagite) these
references are given in the modern editions anyway.
