Isaac of Edessa

ISACCO DI EDESSA

By Ignazio Ortiz de Urbina

Italian original Cite

ISAAC OF EDESSA. - According to James of Edessa there would be two I. of E., one a Monophysite of the second half of the 5th century and another who would later have become orthodox in the time of Asclepius (520-25). Moreover, in the manuscripts the writings of I. of E. are confused with those of Isaac of Antioch (v.).

The Monophysite would be the author of the poem of 2136 verses on the parrot that repeated the addition: "qui crucifixus est pro nobis". The Catholic one, on the other hand, would be the author of the writings that defend the Synod of Chalcedon.
