Summary
Details

""Titles of Address in Christian Greek Epistolography to 527 A. D."" is an exhaustive philological examination of the formal language and social etiquette found within early Christian correspondence. Focusing on the period leading up to the end of the reign of Justinian I, this work analyzes the specific honorifics and titles used in Greek letters to denote rank, respect, and religious affiliation.

Sister Lucilla Dinneen provides a systematic classification of these titles, exploring their development from classical Greek origins into the specialized vocabulary of the early Byzantine Church. The study offers significant insights into the social structures, ecclesiastical hierarchies, and interpersonal relationships of the era. By investigating how individuals addressed one another in writing, the author reveals the cultural values and pieties that shaped the Late Antique world.

This volume is a crucial resource for scholars of Patristics, classical philology, and Church history. It remains a foundational reference for understanding the linguistic conventions that defined communication in the Christian East during a transformative period of history.
