| Abstract | "Ambiguum 10 is an important sample of Maximus the Confessor's philosophical exegesis, which has not received concentrated scholarly attention so far. This volume includes a new critical text edition by Prof. Carl Laga and a new English translation by Dr. Joshua Lollar. It also offers a unique insight into the universe of the great Christian thinker, showcasing his extensive knowledge of Aristotelian, Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy and offering possible parallels with the Corpus Hermeticum and Ps-Dionysius the Areopagite. The present volume is the first attempt to bring together scholars from different traditions to understand the message and the reception of this seminal work." -- Publisher, page four of cover. |
| General note | "This volume centers on Ambiguum 10, the most extensive and philosophically diverse Ambiguum of St. Maximus the Confessor. While this writing is part of a larger collection referred to as Ambigua to John, Ambiguum 10, due to its length and distinct subject matter, may be regarded as a separate work within this compilation. Ambiguum 10 is not only the longest work in Maximus' Ambigua to John, it is also a text addressing the most fundamental issues of the Christian religious itinerary."--Introduction, page 13. |
