Abstract

[Extract] In this paper, dedicated to the teacher who first introduced me to Patristic texts and supervised my thesis on the subject of Synesius' Letters (Runia 1976), I aim to explore the Alexandrian exegetical background of this text in greater depth and gain insight into how that tradition has left its traces in the method and contents of the homily.
