A mystic thinker from the late Byzantine Empire. Some say he died in 1371. Born into a wealthy family in Thessalonica, he became Archbishop of Thessalonica after the abdication of Pope John VI Cantacuzenus (1347-1354). In the controversy over quietism (hesychasm) in the Eastern Orthodox Church, he defended the monks of Mount Athos, but he himself had more moderate ideas. His main work, Peritēs en Christō Zōēs ( Life in Christ), explains the possibility of spiritual union with Christ through the three sacraments of baptism, laying on of hands, and the Eucharist. His Interpretation of the Divine Liturgy (Ermēneia tēs thesias leitourgias) is a masterpiece in the history of European mystical thought.

ビザンティン帝国末期の神秘主義の思想家。没年を1371年とする説もある。テサロニケの富裕の家に生まれ、ヨハネス6世Johannes Ⅵ Cantacuzenus(在位1347~1354)の退位後、テサロニケ大主教に就任した。東方正教会で行われた静寂主義(ヘシカスム)の論争では、アトス山の修道士を擁護したが、彼自身はより穏健な思想をもっていた。主著『キリストにある生活』Peritēs en Christō Zōēsは、洗礼、按手(あんしゅ)、聖餐(せいさん)の三秘蹟(ひせき)によりキリストとの霊的結合の可能性を解明した。また、『神的典礼の解釈』Ermēneia tēs thesias leitourgiasは、ヨーロッパ神秘思想史上の名著である。 [田口貞夫 2018年2月16日] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
