Ignatios was a key figure in the revival of literary culture in Constantinople during the first half of the ninth century. He is best known for his hagiography, but also wrote poems, compiled proverbs, and edited textbooks. His Correspondence survives in a single manuscript and was first published in a now rare 1903 edition. The 64 letters are presented in facing pages of Greek and English. Some contain important information on social and economic aspects of his time. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
