Theodore (759-826), abbot of the influential Constantinopolitan
monastery of Stoudios, is celebrated as a saint by the Orthodox
Church for his stalwart defense of icon veneration. Three important
texts promoting the monastery and the memory of its founder are
collected in The Life and Death of Theodore of Stoudios. In the
Life of Theodore, Michael the Monk describes a golden age at
Stoudios, as well as Theodore's often antagonistic encounters with
imperial rulers. The Encyclical Letter of Naukratios, written in
826 by his successor, informed the scattered monks of their
leader's death. Translation and Burial contains brief biographies
of Theodore and his brother, along with an eyewitness account of
their reburial at Stoudios. These works, translated into English
for the first time, appear here alongside new editions of the
Byzantine Greek texts.
