HENOTICUM

Volume 11 · 81 words · 1860 Edition

an edict of the Emperor Zeno, published A.D. 482, and intended to reunite the Eutychians with the Catholics. It was procured from the emperor by Acacius, patriarch of Constantinople; and was in the form of a letter, addressed by Zeno to the clergy and people of Egypt and Libya. As it contained a favourable mention of the council of Chalcedon, it was supposed to favour the Eutychian party; and after much opposition, was at length formally condemned by Pope Felix II.
