AGORAfilia and agoraphobia (8a): Cyril versus Sinesio

I forgot to say that the letters of Sinesio is a letter (No. 12) addressed to Cyril. Let's see how it starts:

"Come back, brother Cyril, along with your mother the Church, of which you were not separated from a pit, but you turned away for a period determined by the consideration they deserve your faults. "

do not know what type of faults were those But the fact is that led to a temporary suspension of the functions of Cyril as bishop (lit. próedros , "Guide"). Although some scholars argue that it is not Cyril of Alexandria, other researchers, according to Wolfgang Meyer [1] hold not only this letter is addressed to the future archbishop of Alexandria, but the tone of reproach that Synesius Cyril targets would to do, eventually, with the murder of Hypatia, friend and teacher Sinesio. If so, the murder of Hypatia could be interpreted as a settling of accounts with Sinesio Cyril. Of course, it would be intolerable cruelty, if we consider that it would be a post mortem revenge because he was already dead Sinesio two or three years before these bloody events. But would not be surprising in a character who, not content to excommunicate Nestorius at the Council of Ephesus, he insisted that the addition to the canons of the council a list of up to twelve Anathematics (type: "If anyone does not confess ... such and such ... let him be accursed. ") With a vengeful rage bit line with the supposed virtues of a future saint of the Church ...

AGORAfilia and agoraphobia (8): The dubious sanctity of Cyril of Alexandria

I will not be me who accuses Cyril of Alexandria in the horrible death Hypatia: Amenábar has already done in his film, playing, for once, quite accurately, the main documentary sources we maintain. I will just provide some insights to help shape the profile a character who, although he owns a place in the pantheon, as a shepherd of the sheep holy Christian ... also take a second home in hell, you bastard between bastards, because it was a nightmare for many, some of which , to make matters worse, they were as Christians like him.

To begin, I want to show the stark contrast between this "holy father"-and considered by the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic, and a contemporary who already is familiar: Synesius. Both were born more or less the same date, 370, and both exerted "supervisors"-that literally means episcopos, Bishop - the one in Alexandria and one in the Ptolemais. But here the similarities end, because while Sinesio was, as we know, because he, in his letter 105, was responsible for what we knew well that a bishop-married father of three children, Cyril was unmarried and without children-we know- although this was not an obstacle to become "father" of the Church ...

Sinesio is a student of Hypatia, and it is true, as we have seen (chart 124), beyond death ... while Cyril not only attend classes Hypatia, to which, as we know, many Christians attend worship and powerful, but on the facts, it seems that he hated to death ...

While Sinesio rejects in principle the position of Bishop, however, offered by acclamation, "Cyril happens to Theophilus in Alexandria in a somewhat dubious and conflicting: according to Socrates Scholastic, caused a riot in Alexandria all, since it took power against the wishes of many, who prefer the Archdeacon Timothy. In accepting the position, Sinesio-letter makes it clear 105 - that's not going to give up his philosophical ideas platonic, but contradict the orthodoxy, on the contrary, Cyril relentless exercise-even in a rage champion of orthodoxy and heresy hammer-see, if you have time and mood, the 10 volumes that takes its work in Greek Patrologia of Migne (68 to 77), much of which is dedicated to combating the heresy of Nestorius.

fact, one of the heterodox views of Synesius had been that of a female Holy Spirit: Expiration Santa -literal translation of Hagia Pnoía - which he calls "mother" and "that gave birth to the hidden root" (Hymn 2), perhaps echoing the Gnostic stream was trying to relocate the ancestral Mother Goddess in a cemetery, now deserted and patriarchal, which had been cleared.

Very different was the efforts of Cyril to impose a strange concept that safeguards gynecological consubstantiality the Father and the Son, namely: Mary, if I had a little mystery to be Virgin , was also s Theotokos, Mother God. Which, on the one hand, does not mean that the origin of God because God is before she and the other, has nothing to do with the Mother Goddess. Very clear ... no?

Anyway, the idea won and served to crush Nestorius at the Council of Ephesus in 431. It is worth pausing to take a look at that ... so little conciliatory council - what has been one? - Has been called ecumenical -lit. "For everyone inhabited "- when the truth is that a meeting was quite provincial, and mono rigged. Gregory Nazianzen in 382 said " that no council has been successful or to remedy the evils, on the contrary, that the increases." The quotation is from José María Blázquez Martínez, professor emeritus of Ancient History at the Complutense University and scholar of the Royal Academy of History. Hand in hand with such prestigious scholarly authority, we will close the profile of Cyril of Alexandria. Perhaps responsible for the horrible murder of Hypatia, persecuting pagans, Jews and heterodox Christians, to get the appointment as Patriarch of Alexandria,

"the first step taken by Cyril was close Novatians churches, and seize all that kept the sacred objects, and took the bishop Novatian Theopompus everything he owned. Profit motive had to close the churches of opposites, not based on faith, ie greed " [1] .

But not the whole thing

"Bribes Patriarch of Alexandria, Cyril (370/444), is the case known more blatant and cynical bribes. Came to buy, not only to the imperial court of Constantinople, until the emperor himself (...)

Actually, what happened at the time of the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon (451) was a fierce power struggle between the churches of Alexandria and Constantinople, as you well said Gregory Nazianzen in the text above. It struggled in the Councils for power. By excessive ambition, Theophilus of Alexandria and his nephew Cyril, fought hard for John Chrysostom and Nestorius were deposed from the headquarters of the capital of the Byzantine Empire, and succeeded by bribing the emperors and the court. With bribes was purchased from the emperors, which were the highest authority within the church, whose decision was final " [2] .

With Saints well ... what the hell we want ...

AGORAfilia and agoraphobia (7): Sinesio, AGORAfilia

Synesius Hypatia shared with the divine interest in Pythagorean mysticism of numbers is very clear sky, as well as already mentioned above, for these words in his short treatise -indeed, a long epistle entitled A Paionios on the gift : "And that astronomy is itself a very worthy and perhaps science could serve ascent to something even more venerable: I think the next step and the ineffable theology. " Precisely in that treaty quotes a beautiful poem of Ptolemy, which the prince of astronomers confesses

"I know I am mortal and ephemeral, but when the stars / investigated the continuous circular revolutions, / no longer play with my feet the earth, but next to own / Zeus I satiate of ambrosia, food of the gods " (IX Anthology 577)

(I was thinking how different the current scientific paradigm, in which poets and astronomers are rarely much less mystical ... And it's not for lack of colossal conceptions, eg the Big Bang - and lofty visions-v. g. nebulae and galaxies referred to the magical eye of the telescope-)

Friend both weapons and hunting, as of horses and books, Sinesio lived in Alexandria for three or four years (393-395 ) in who was a diligent student of Hypatia. On your next stay in Alexandria in 403, married a Christian nobility, and will be the Archbishop Theophilus who marry them. Have three children with her, two of them twins, who tragically die one after another and before him in less than ten years. Interestingly, already Bishop of such deaths is comforted by reading the Bible but not Epictetus (letter 126). In the year 410 when, killed the metropolitan of the Ptolemais, the people and clergy hailed as a successor in the episcopate. Flatly refuses at first, and then agree not without putting a number of conditions, among which is the conservation of both his wife and their Platonic convictions on the preexistence of the soul and immortality, not resurrection, as well as eternity of the universe. Read excerpts from the letter 105, conducted in the summer of 410 to his brother Evoptio:

"To me, it was indeed God, the law and the sacred hand of Theophilus who gave me my wife. I declare, therefore, publicly and to all borne witness that I detach myself from it all and not secretly lived with her as an adulterer (which one is not pious and the other is not legal), but my desire and my prayer will be many and good kids. "

"It is difficult, if not quite impossible, shake the doctrines that have become scientifically proven and you also know that many times, the philosophy of plane crashes against these other doctrines reported. Sure I never argue the belief that the origin of the soul is after the body. Do not admit that the cosmos and its parts awaits joint destruction. The much hyped resurrection consider sacred, ineffable and far away I agree with the opinion of the masses. "

"If I call this sacred ministry, I resign myself to hold a mock doctrines of it as God is my witness as well as men."

was christened after its election as bishop, although he was a Christian when he attended Hypatia's classes. Just some of the Hymns who wrote at that time reflect his Gnostic, heterodox conception some of the Christian dogmas as the Trinity, and mystical visions of astronomy. Thus begins the anthem 5 :

"Again the light of dawn again, again the day shines upon the darkness noctívaga. Sing it again, my heart, in early morning hymns to God, who gave birth to the dawn, which gave the night stars, chorus that dances around the universe. "

And describes the Trinity:

"The only source, the only root in the form shines a light triple: for there the abyss of the Father, the Son glorious there, the birth of the heart, traditional skills of the universe, and the glow of Santa Expiration unit shines. "

Note that the Holy Spirit a feminine name it: Hagia Pnoiâs : Santa Exhalation Exhalation or . We will have occasion to discuss these surprising and unorthodox theological views.

Platonic ideas, and tastes very worldly, Bishop married Sinesio never ceases to amaze with his esoteric interests. Returning home after a visit to Alexandria in 405, wrote a treatise "inspired by God himself"-his words-titled On Dreams, which then sends Hypatia to give approval. It defends the human capacity for divination and foretelling the future, based on the interpretation of dreams he learned of the Platonic philosophy. Along with this agreement sends another teacher, also for monitoring, entitled Dion, or their standard of living . It named as the most holy and wise men of Ammon, Zoroaster, San Antonio (the hermit) and Hermes. He also cites the Hermetic writings and the Chaldean Oracles , in other works, and certainly are present in the images used in Hymns.

An intriguing episode is the desperate plea that the letter 15 to your teacher makes you Hypatia to manufacture a "hydroscope", saying literally: "Fortune is so unfavorable that I need a hydroscope. " Against those who argue that it is an instrument only be used for chemical experiments, Dzielska, supported by an astrological work of the period, in which Thebes Hephaestion hydroscope states that can be used for divination and the preparation of horoscopes, argues: "Sinesio dominated by despair, abandoned by his immediate family, seeks solace and release into the hydromancy. Please consult the gods of water over his future. " (DZIELSKA 2006:91)

To this is added the curious fact that one of the first treatises on alchemy known Hellenistic Synesius is assigned, it is the letter entitled Synesius philosopher Dioscorus , notes the book of Democritus . As Dzielska says, "is not surprising that this disciple of Hypatia (and perhaps Theon), engaged in the interpretation of dreams, astrology and physical experiments, become recognized as one of the foremost experts in the secrets of alchemy. " (DZIELSKA 2006:91-92)

TROILO IN 100 CHAPTERS

Aníbal Troilo ( Pichuco ) is one of the most enduring essence of tango.
To speak of him were two pens together: that of our fellow Horacio Arturo Ferrer and Argentine Jose Gobello teacher ( Belgo ).
See what makes the latter, with its illustrative comment:

"Our academic number (1) Don Horacio Arturo Ferrer could be awarded so that moving the same confession of Ovid (Sorry, IV, 10): Quidquid tentabam dicere versus erat, "everything that was trying to write poetry.
On return from one of his triumphant performances in Europe, Ferrer now announces work on Troilus, made it big. Ferrer does nothing other than big, as the thousand verses to Picasso that has chocks.
There is in this literary tribute Troilo memories, anecdotes, assessments, admiration, criticism, history major and history minor ... But wow, everything is always trying to write poetry. As
Gardel Troilo said it was not her singing had pace, because the pace was himself, Ferrer can say that it is not that everything comes poetry, but he himself is poetry.
The hundred chapters devoted to Pichuco, plus a CD anthology and, yet, for good measure, one hundred and twenty photographs long memories, priceless, give us, of course, a full and multirostro Troilo, whom the daggers of ice that tore us right after me as the absorption of one who was thinking of his own soul, that eluded him by the fingers.
Leo Ferrer and feel its pages like a real personal almografía. Troilo hundred chapters are also a hundred chapters on Ferrer.
I quote myself. In my poem "A Misael" I say what I write myself that each page is the photo that shows me different and unchangeable. Also, immutable and other shows Ferrer, and concerns Pichuco, Picasso, Woody Allen, the last Grela or colifatos you see the moon rolling like a cheese ball on the Avenida Callao smog. BELGO. "

For the reissue of Lunfardia , which Gobello brilliant scholarship examines the characteristics close to idiomatic expressions Tango, Uruguayan Horacio Arturo Ferrer could say, among other things:

The illustrious honor is one of the essential names to access the chest that holds the secrets of universal vitality of the tango.

Wedding In Memory Of Wording

heterodox Christian and agoraphobia (6): Sinesio, the faithful disciple of the venerable and agoraphobia AGORAfilia

If there is one detail in the film by Amenábar it bother me particularly is the manipulation of the figure of Sinesio in the final scenes. First, in any way could not have been present in the final moments of Hypatia ... he had died two or three years earlier, in 413. Just this year, on the verge of death, he writes three letters (10, 16 and 81) in which he calls comfort to their plight. Far from betraying his master, or at least justify his conviction, as suggested by the script, Sinesio is faithful unto death, as he had promised years earlier, in 396, in an impassioned letter that began with a verse of Iliad: " even if you forget the dead in the house of Hades, I, even there, I remember " ... to which he adds: "the dear Hypatia" (letter 124). Already above the respectful treatment which led to his teacher. Add a special significance today, which appears in one of those last letters, 81: "and the truth is that, apart from virtue, it's you whom I consider a good inviolable ( agathon ásylon )." Incidentally, in this same letter tells us what could be perhaps text only words we have of Hypatia, namely, how loving that she used to address him: "You called me" the good of others ( allóttrion agathon ) "." And not betray friends, especially if the subject was to be a matter of orthodoxy, which were unconnected as Sinesio Hypatia. We will see what I was away from the rigors dogmatic Sinesio of orthodoxy.

Another detail that does not fit with respect to Hypatia years pass not by it, when the film covers a period of almost 25 years, from 391, date of destruction of Serapeo until 415, date of the murder of Hypatia. Amenábar seems also here to bet on the legend of Hypatia not only wise but also very beautiful until the moment of his death, it is likely that the death had more than 50 or even 60 years. This is implied in his Chronography Juan Malalas († 578), when, after describing his death, said restricted to: "It was an old woman (gyne palaio )." And that seems to suggest that in the Byzantine encyclopedia Suda (s. X) refers to Hypatia reached maturity or bloom ( acme ), which was estimated at around 40 years under the reign of Arcadius , ie between 395 and 408; if so, when he died in 415 would have between 47 and 60, meaning that it is very likely to exceed 50. It is logical that this was, above all the respect which he enjoyed among the politicians of his time, who left for her advice. In addition, the reverse is unlikely, because if we fix his birth, as some would like, around at 370, we would have to Hypatia in 393 teaching a Synesius of the same age: 23 years! Again, not consistent with the respectful treatment Sinesio always gives in his letters, especially in one of the last, where the flame "mother, sister, teacher" (letter 16) does not seem very likely to happen is called "mother "a woman of the same age ...
