In this book, the critical editions of Proclus' most celebrated Marian sermons (Homilies 1-5) provide the point of departure for a far-reaching study of the rise of the Virgin's cult in Late Antiquity. The homilies are supported by a historical introduction to the life and work of Proclus, situating him within the larger religious culture of fifth-century Constantinople. Richly documented chapters explore the symbolism of the incarnation and virgin birth, including the notion of virginal \"conception through hearing,\" and the image of Mary's womb as a textile loom wich weaves a veil of flesh the bodiless divinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Constas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004126120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004126121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.46w x 1.13d","brand":"Nicholas Constas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48871400177919,"sku":"9789004126121","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proclus-of-constantinople-and-the-nicholas-constas-9789004126121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
