“The Panoplia Dogmatike by Euthymios Zygadenos,” by Nadia Miladinova (MEDS MA ‘04, PhD ‘11), gives snapshots of the history of the authoritative anthology, the “Panoplia Dogmatike” in the early modern period and uses sources previously regarded unrelated to the Panoplia. Created in the 12th century, the Panoplia Dogmatike is one of the Byzantine anthologies that became a key source for Orthodox theology. The anthology is known in more than 140 Greek manuscripts. In the 14th century it was translated into Old Church Slavonic.
