What it is
Solutions to difficult passages in Gregory of Nazianzus and Pseudo-Dionysius, which become an entire cosmology of the logoi — the divine intentions by which each created thing is what it is.
Why it lasted
The most demanding and most original Greek theology after the fourth century, and the text on which Maximus's modern reputation rests.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
