The full text of his Commentary on the Letter to the Hebrews, found in Armenia in 2020, is now available in English.
Until now, Cyril of Alexandria’sCommentary on the Letter to the Hebrews was known to scholars only through small fragments. Thought to be lost forever, a manuscript of the Classical Armenian translation was found in Matenadaran depositary in Yerevan, Armenia, back in 2020. This year, the English translation has finally been made available.
All the fragments that were known to scholars are present in the Armenian text, which is about 43,000 words long. Cyril’s commentary, though, only goes from Hebrews 1:1 to Hebrews 3:19. Most scholars think that is all the commentary that Cyril ever wrote on this letter. Still, this is a capital Patristic and a critical source for Cyril’s Christology, as explained in the press release sent by Books From Armenia.
