Cyril of Alexandria

This page is dedicated to Cyril of Alexandria, bishop of Alexandria from 412AD till 444AD.

Special thanks to the Novgorod State University, Russia, for their permission to use the icon of Cyril on this page.

This page is continually being updated as I find and/or type in more of Cyril's works. Please be patient! This page last updated on January 30, 2008.

Works of Cyril

Roger Pearse of www.tertullian.org has been so kind as to scan in a number of out of date books and put them in HTML format on his website. Among these out of print books were translations by the Puseys of Cyril's works. (See Cyril of Alexandria) A special thanks to Roger Pearse for making these available.

I have taken these files and converted them to PDF format so that those who may wish to can print out a hardcopy. This is a continuing project as it takes a while to reformat them.

A Preliminary Bibliography of secondary books and articles on Cyril. I hope to update this periodically, and perhaps annotate it. Any help would be welcome!

I hope to include Nestorius' Bazaar here at some time in the future.

If you have any information about Cyril's writings on the net, or would like to know more about him, please drop me a message. Please include "Cyril" somewhere on the subject line so that it can be easily identified.
