Description

Navigating the extensive scholarly and popular literature regarding the life and work of John of Damascus (c. 655-c. 745) can be a difficult task for researchers. This volume from the Variorum Collected Studies series provides a much-needed critical review to help scholars find their bearings in this complex field of study. In this collection, Vassa Kontouma addresses several long-standing questions that have shaped the understanding of this historical figure. The work includes a critical review of existing literature and attempts to resolve uncertainties regarding the author and the date of composition for the official Life of John. This volume is particularly significant for its inclusion of six studies that appear in a special English translation made specifically for this book. It also features the first publication of a study on the philosophical significance of the Dialectica. This text serves as a vital resource for anyone studying ancient history, theology, or the works of John of Damascus.
