5.0 out of 5 stars Fall In Love With Photios, May 3, 2000

This review is from: Patriarch Photios Constantinople His Life, Scholarly Contributions and Correspondence Together With a Translation of Fifty-Two of His Letters: His Life, ... and Historical Sources, No. 5) (Hardcover)

D.S. White accomplishes the feat of a concise, complete and readable presentation of a complicated man who is a Saint to the East, anathema to the West, and the most extraordinary and illustrious mind of his time.Saint Photios of Constantinople, "an intimate of the powerful, a courtier, an intellectual, an encyclopedist, a teacher, and a voracious student of anything that books could offer", has been extensively studied by scholars for centuries; profusely quoted and catalogued, worshiped and excommunicated.But nowhere does he come through as completely yet understandably as he does in this small book.Photios's own writings, presended here in a collection of 52 of his letters, reveal a man of passion and compassion, great knowledge and deep faith who still brings forth our admiration, even as he continues to attract the scorn of those he called "heretics" over a thousand years ago.
