In writing about Sophronios of Jerusalem two ninth-century authors comment specifically on the patriarch’s literary style and correct beliefs. Both of those elements will be highlighted in this lecture. It will explore some of the unusual features of his rhetoric, which place him in the Asiatic, rather than the Attic, camp.
