Ambiguum 10 of Maximus the Confessor in Modern Study
Papers Collected on the Occasion of the Budapest Colloquium on Saint Maximus, 3–4 February 2021
Abstract
Ambiguum 10 is an important sample of Maximus the Confessor’s philosophical exegesis, which has not received concentrated scholarly attention so far. This volume includes a new critical text edition by Prof. Carl Laga and a new English translation by Dr. Joshua Lollar. It also offers a unique insight into the universe of the great Christian thinker, showcasing his extensive knowledge of Aristotelian, Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy and offering possible parallels with the Corpus Hermeticum and Ps-Dionysius the Areopagite. The present volume is the first attempt to bring together scholars from different traditions to understand the message and the reception of this seminal work.
