Ebook: Athanasius von Alexandrien auf dem Konzil von Florenz

In his Western reception, Athanasius (328–373) was declared to be a witness to the insertion of the Filioque in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. At the Council of Ferrara/Florence (1438/1439), the Byzantines were confronted with a text that appeared to prove this fact. While the text was accepted by contemporaries as authentic, today we know it was incorrectly ascribed to the Alexandrian patriarch.
