This eventually culminated in Evagrius ’ s pursuit of legal studies, which upon completion, earned him the prestigious title of “ Scholasticus ” when he was in his late 20s.

In a further elaboration, Evagrius Scholasticus in his Ecclesiastical History ( 593 ) attributed the same event to a " God-made image ," a miraculous imprint of the face of Jesus upon a cloth.

His Historia Ecclesiastica, in eighteen books, brings the narrative down to 610 ; for the first four centuries the author is largely dependent on his predecessors, Eusebius, Socrates Scholasticus, Sozomen, Theodoret and Evagrius, his additions showing very little critical faculty ; for the later period his labours, based on documents now no longer extant, to which he had free access, though he used them also with small discrimination, are much more valuable.

Sometime before 374, it was translated into Latin by Evagrius of Antioch.

He had a Latin translation by Evagrius of Athanasius's Life of Antony, and a copy of Sulpicius Severus ' Life of St. Martin.

Then, in the later account found in the Syriac Doctrine of Addai, a painted image of Jesus is mentioned in the story ; and even later, in the account given by Evagrius, the painted image is transformed into an image that miraculously appeared on a towel when Christ pressed the cloth to his wet face.

After the death of Meletius, John separated himself from the followers of Meletius, without joining Paulinus, the rival of Meletius for the bishopric of Antioch, but after the death of Paulinus he was ordained a presbyter ( that is, a priest ) in 386 by Evagrius, the successor of Paulinus.

This understanding is taught within the works of ascetics like Evagrius Ponticus, and the most seminal ascetic works read most widely by Eastern Christians, the Philokalia and the Ladder of Divine Ascent ( the works of Evagrius and John Climacus are also contained within the Philokalia ).

* Demophilus of Constantinople becomes Patriarch of Constantinople, although his position is disputed by Evagrius of Constantinople.

In AD 590, a little over two centuries after Evagrius wrote his list, Pope Gregory I revised this list to form the more common Seven Deadly Sins, by folding ( sorrow / despair / despondency ) into acedia, vainglory into pride, and adding envy.

John Chrysostom, who was ordained a deacon by Meletius, later separated from his group without joining in communion with Paulinus, but later accepted ordination to the priesthood at the hands of Paulinus's successor, Evagrius.

The circular of the emperor requesting the advice of Anatolius on the turbulent state of Alexandria is given by Evagrius ( H. E. ii.

The orthodox party chose Evagrius for their bishop, and he was ordained by Eustathius, the deposed bishop of Antioch.

Both Eustathius and Evagrius were banished by the emperor Valens, and their followers bitterly persecuted.

The Catholics and the deposed bishop of Antioch Eustathius chose Evagrius for that see ; but a few months later he was banished by the emperor Valens, and remained in exile until his death.

Evagrius himself was infected by the outbreak yet miraculously managed to survive this disaster during his youth.

The Desert Fathers emphasized the light of the ascetic experience, and related it to the light of the Transfiguration – a theme developed further by Evagrius Ponticus in the 4th century.

Two other first-hand reports of the plague's ravages were by the Syriac church historian John of Ephesus and Evagrius Scholasticus, who was a child in Antioch at the time and later also became a church historian.

— The author, Evagrius, was himself stricken by the plague as a child and lost several family members to it.

It is stated by Evagrius Scholasticus ( H. E.

Thus we can trace the development of the legend from a letter, but no image in Eusebius, to an image painted by a court painter in Addai ; then to a miracle caused by the letter in Procopius, which becomes a miracle caused by a miraculously-created image supernaturally made when Jesus pressed a cloth to his wet face in Evagrius.

But unlike the Greek, the ' Common Syriac Version ', a translation of the Gnostic chapters of Evagrius by the Monophysite Philoxenus, was void of the specific Origenist-Evagrian Christology.

Babai tried to eliminate the Origenist ideas even further and presented Evagrius as opposed to Origen and his follower Henana by pointing out apparent contradictions between them.

be refuted by other writings of Evagrius.

For example, Evagrius Scholasticus relies heavily on Zachariah ’ s textual study of history even though he was a monophysite, occasionally omitting minor facets of his work that explicitly promote his theology, but largely considering him to be dependable.

Allen also reasons that Evagrius built on Zachariah ’ s work because his was the only comprehensive historical account of events taking place from Theodoret of Cyrus ’ s time till his own era.

# " the practice of inner prayer, aiming at union with God on a level beyond images, concepts and language ", a sense in which the term is found in Evagrius Ponticus ( 345-399 ), Maximus the Confessor ( c. 580-662 ), and Symeon the New Theologian ( 949-1022 );

Evagrius Scholasticus was born in Epiphania, a Syrian town located next to the Orontes River in the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire.

According to the historian Evagrius, his birth name was Catelinus, but he took the name John on his accession.

In Eastern Christianity, the monastic traditions of " constant prayer " that traced back to the Desert Fathers and Evagrius Pontikos established the practice of hesychasm and influenced John Climacus ' book The Ladder of Divine Ascent by the 7th century.

According to the accounts of Priscus, Procopius, John Malalas, Theodorus Lector, Evagrius Scholasticus, Theophanes the Confessor, Joannes Zonaras and Cedrinus, Placidia can be estimated to have stayed a prisoner in Carthage for six to seven years.

They are diplomatic historians, expert in the use of historical sources and in the polished tact called for by their social position ; they are not cIoset-scholars, ignorant of the world, but men who stood out in public life: jurists like Procopius, Agathias, Evagrius, Michael Attaliates, statesmen like Joannes Cinnamus, Nicetas Acominatus, Georgius Pachymeres, Laonicus Chalcondyles ; generals and diplomats like Nicephorus Bryennius the Younger, George Acropolites, Georgius Phrantzes ; and even crowned heads, like Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Anna Comnena, John VI Cantacuzene, and others.

Evagrius was explicitly a Christian in the Chalcedonian tradition, critiquing both Zacharias Rhetor and Zosimus for theological differences, two popular historians during his own time.

The story told in the opera is quite different from the real one, despite the fact that Zeno claimed to use several historical sources ( Evagrius Scholasticus l. 2. c. 7, Procopius of Caesarea, Historia Vandalorum, l. 1, Paul the Deacon, vi ): Ricimer captures Rome, frees his sister Teodolinda and enslaves Placidia, daughter of Valentinian III ; a little later, Olybrius frees Rome and Placidia, and marries her.

Evagrius is much less critical of the Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora, in comparison with Procopius, who described the two as physically manifest demons.

The terms also appear in the same period in Evagrius Pontikos ( c. 345 – 399 ), who although he is writing in Egypt is out of the circle of the Cappadocians, and in the Sayings of the Desert Fathers.

The term Hesychast is used sparingly in Christian ascetical writings emanating from Egypt from the 4th century on, although the writings of Evagrius and the Sayings of the Desert Fathers do attest to it.

This psychological analysis owes much to the ascetical works of Evagrius Pontikos, with its doctrine of the eight passions.

His works ( Coenobitical Institutions and the Conferences ) represent a transmittal of Evagrius Pontikos ' ascetical doctrines to the West.
