The Church Fathers · c. 450
The Bazaar of Heracleides
Nestorius · c. 386–c. 451
What it is
A long self-defence written in exile under a pseudonym, arguing that the author had never taught what he was condemned for and welcoming Leo's Tome as his own position.
Why it lasted
Recovered in Syriac in 1895, it reopened the question of whether the founder of Nestorianism was actually a Nestorian.
Where to read it
This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
