Abstract :
The first Passio Maximi Confessoris ('Urpassio'), which has not survived, was written in Palestine/Jerusalem in the middle of the 8th century at the same time as the Passio Martini pp. (BHG 2259). The present article confirms, complements, and extends the research by B. Roosen (Byz, 80) and P. Conte (1989) through new insights gleaned from an analysis of the Concilium Quinisextum (691/2) and the Synopsis de haeresibus et synodis by Anastasios Sinaites, thereby refuting the position of B. Neil (2006). Consequently, it would now seem untenable to maintain that BHG 2259 was written in Rome.
