Codex 49

[Cyril of Alexandria, Against Nestorius]

Read the treatise of Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, Against the Blasphemies of Nestorius,in five books. In these he preserves his characteristic style and curious phraseology. But he is clearer than in his letters to Hermeias[1] and his work On Adoration in the Spirit.The language is ornate and elaborate, forced into agreement with its peculiar form, which resembles prose poetry that despises metre.
