Conc. Tom. XV. and XVI.; in Harduin: Conc. Tom. V. Hergenröther: Monumenta Graeca ad
Photium ejusque historiam pertinentia. Regensb. 1869.
I. On the Greek Side:
Photius: jEgkuvklio" ejpistolhv etc. and especially his Lovgo" peri; th'" tou' aJgivou Pneuvmato"
mustagwgiva", etc. See Photii Opera omnia, ed. Migne. Paris, 1860–’61, 4 vols. (Patr. Gr. Tom.
CI.-CIV.) The Encycl. Letter is in Tom. II. 722–742; and his treatise on the mustagwgiva tou'
aJgivou Pneuvmato" in Tom. II. 279–391.
