Selected Proceedings and the Chalcedonian Definition
from Part I - The Council of Chalcedon and Its Reception
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2022
The Council of Chalcedon was the culmination of a series of synods that met in the wake of Cyril’s death in 444 amid disputes over his legacy. At the Home Synod at Constantinople in November 448, Eusebius of Dorylaeum instigated the condemnation of Eutyches. After Eutyches appealed the synod’s decision, two inquiries were held in April 449, to investigate whether the minutes of the Home Synod had been falsified and whether Flavian had written his condemnation of Eutyches before the archimandrite had even appeared at the synod. This investigation resulted in the decision to hear Eutyches’s appeal at the second Council of Ephesus (Ephesus II) in August 449, which Emperor Theodosius II had convened to address whatever issues he understood to remain in the Nestorian controversy and affirm the faith of Nicaea and Ephesus I.
