Abstract :
Severus of Antioch is by far the most prolific writer among the non-Chalcedonian — the so-called ‘Monophysite Churches’. The book of the Confessions of the Fathers is an anonymous compilation of the eleventh century. It is a compilation of theological texts. This book was used as a manual of theology for the clergy and laymen. This book contains some abstracts from the works of Severus of Antioch. Several theologians and patriarchs quoted him also in their treatises and correspondances. In this article, we will give in full all the texts attributed to Severus of Antioch and we will try to identify them.
