CIRILLONA

By Ignazio Ortiz de Urbina

Italian original Cite

CYRILLONA. - Syriac poet, who lived toward the end of the 4th century. Only the discovery of his hymns (ed. G. Bickell, in Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, 27 [1873], pp. 566-98) brought C. to light; he was certainly a cleric, probably a priest, and lived either in Syria or, more probably, in Mesopotamia.

Six hymns of his are known, of great literary beauty and of no small importance for dogma, especially for Mariology.
