Synoptic Byzantine chronologies of the Councils

Abstract

REB 36 1978 France p. 193-218 J. Munitiz, Synoptic Byzantine chronologies of the Councils. — The author examines the information to be found in the text or margins of many synoptic accounts of the first seven Councils concerning the intervals between these events. One system (n° 5) is particularly common, but there are signs of an earlier system and of other attempts to fix the time span between the Councils. Despite palaeographic errors, regular patterns can be recognized, e.g. the change from the use of the Alexandrine to the Byzantine era, and the uncertainties concerning the dates of the Councils of Ephesus and Constantinople II. The Dossier at the end lists the manuscripts giving the different computations.
