Studies on Maximus the Confessor's Opuscula

Vladimir Cvetković and Alex Léonas kick off the Subsidia Maximiana, a new subseries of the Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia, with a groundbreaking collection of studies on Maximus Confessor's Opuscula theologica et polemica [CPG 7697]. It is volume 89 in the Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia.

The volume is the first to focus exclusively on St Maximus’ Opuscula. Its approach is multidisciplinary, combining theological, philosophical, philological and historical perspectives.

Opuscula theologica et polemica is a collection of minor works of Maximus the Confessor that has not received much scholarly attention so far. Nevertheless, it offers a unique insight into the Christological and personological universe of the Christian thinker. The present volume is the first attempt to bring together scholars of different traditions and to apply different approaches – theological, philosophical, philological and historical – to this seminal work.
