Produktbeschreibung

The first of the three 'Great' Popes, as listed in the 'Annuario Pontificio', Leo I served as Bishop of Rome from 440 until his death in 461. A Roman aristocrat and learned theologian, Leo famously convinced Attila the Hun to turn back from his invasion of Italy. He also issued the 'Tome of Leo', which was a major foundation to the debates of the Council of Chalcedon. Contributing significantly to the development of papal authority, his work helped popularise the definition of Christ's being as the hypostatic union of two natures, divine and human. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Pope Leo I's collected works, with illustrations, an informative introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
