Zlatostruy (Chrysorrhoas) is the name of an Old Slavonic collection of Chrysostomian homilies, which was compiled in the first quarter of the 10th c. by the commission of the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon (893-927). It had a huge importance for recently baptized Bulgarian people; moreover the Slavic compilers have selected primarily works and excerpts concerning universal principles of human relations and way of life. Thus listeners in church or readers in monasteries received through it instructions on issues related to Christian virtues, which comprised not only of sophisticated dogmatic and rhetorical mastery, but mostly of examples from everyday life and basic topics such as mercy, sympathy, continence, repentance, denial of material goods and pursuit of spiritual values. The content of the initial collection and its influence on literature from the tenth century may be determined - because it has not reached us in its original entirety - by comparing collections that have used it as a source. This is precisely one of the objectives of the study of Y. Miltenov. The author combines several approaches, which are complementary to one another - working with manuscript sources, their text-critical juxtaposition, study of the history of each of the nearly 200 texts, which constitute the corpus, comparison with their Byzantine sources. In this sense, the book represents an innovative and, at the same time, complex and complete investigation. Its results would be used by scholars from several disciplines (Slavic studies, Byzantine studies, linguistics, medieval literature, history, cultural anthropology), and by wide range of non-academics, who are interested in the Preslav civilization. The Slavonic Chrysostomian corpus, as Miltenov’s study demostrates, records an important information on both the adoption of centuries-long Christian philosophical tradition among the Bulgarians and on the transformation of this heritage into a different, independent tradition of its own through the compiling of new texts and new collections. All these processes are bound up with the state policy in the field of culture, which includes personal commitment and initiative of the ruler, formation of authoritative royal book collection as source for the monastery libraries, gathering together highly educated men of letters, intentional collection and selection of Byzantine literary monuments. The repercussions of this cultural policy reach - through miscellanies of stable content or copies of individual texts - Athos, Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, and cover 10th-18th c. The analysis of these processes, examined in their development, details and wider context, is one of the great merits of Miltenov’s research.

Contrary to the portrayals of Chrysostom as a theologically impaired, moralizing sophist, this book argues that his thinking is remarkably coherent when it is understood on his own terms and within his culture. Chrysostom depicts God as a teacher of philosophy who adaptably guides people toward salvation. Since the theme of divine adaptability influences every major area of Chrysostom's thought, tracing this concept provides a thorough introduction to his theology. It also explains, at least in part, several striking features of his homilies, including his supposed inconsistencies, his harsh rhetoric and apparent political naivete, his intentionally abridged and exoteric theological discussions, and his lack of allegiance to an "Antiochene school."

"In this illuminating study Liebeschuetz examines two fundamental themes of Late Antiquity: the barbarization of the Roman army and the interrelation of Church and secular government. He discusses Alaric's Goths in the West, who were treated as a federate regiment rather than a migrating tribe; how the civilian authorities at Constantinople maintained control over the largely German army in a conflict that culminated in the Gainas rising; and how the same authorities came into conflict with John Chrysostom, the bishop of Constantinople, and had him deposed."-- publisher description.
