Resumen de East Syrian Networks in Constantinople: Mar Aba, Paul the Persian, and the sleepless monks
Mar Aba and Paul the Persian, two theologians from Persia, traveled to and lived in Constantinople in the first half of the sixth century. During their journey and stay, they used and were supported by an East Syrian network already existing in the capital. The present study focuses on the Sleepless monks, one of the key elements of this network, and their connections with Syrian, Greek, and Latin worlds, including Leontius of Byzantium and Cassiodorus.
