• Evagrius Ponticus, monastic writer from Asia Minor, (IV Century):
  • Works attributed to Evagrius by most XX Century scholars: Certain writings of Evagrius were condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council as Origenist. Scholars of the XX Century argued that many of his more conventional, less speculative, works were preserved under the names of other authors to evade condemnation. The acceptance of this theory has probably increased the modern awareness of these particular writings; perhaps Church authorities should should hope that scholars attribute many more patristic texts to "condemned heretics" ... At any rate, we are now listing these works under both Evagrius and the author whose name appears on the manuscripts, since people may be looking for them under either.
    • Basil the Great, (author according to manuscripts): Eighth Epistle Ostensibly a justification of Basil's withdrawing into the country to meditate, this is is one of the finest Orthodox expositions of the Trinity to emerge from the Arian crisis. However, since the 1920s, most scholars have attributed this work to Evagrius Ponticus, a controversial disciple of Basil and Gregory the Theologian whose Origenistic speculations (in other writings) were condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council. The Greek manuscripts themselves, however, ascribe the epistle to Basil. Jackson translation. --- SPL
