This study reassesses conventional claims about the author’s identity, date, and the constitution of his corpus. It introduces each of Cyrillona’s five surviving poems and examines their poetic form and genre, structure and rhetorical features, and critical questions of text, interpretation, and theology.Gorgias Eastern Christianity studies.Christian poetryHistory and criticismChristian poetryHistory and criticism.809.19351Griffin Carl W.1627463MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827235003321Cyrillona3964074UNINA
