Photius, Patriarch von Constantinopel: Sein Leben, Seine Schriften und das Griechische Schisma, Volume 1, by Joseph Hergenröther, offers a detailed biography of Photius I of Constantinople, a key figure in the history of the Byzantine Empire and the schism between the Eastern and Western churches. This meticulously researched work, originally published in German, explores Photius’s life, his extensive writings, and his role in the complex theological and political landscape of the 9th century.
