Notes

  1. Béatrice Caseau brought to my attention the little-known book by P. R. Oliger, Les évÊques réguliers. Recherches sur leur condition juridique depuis les origines du monachisme jusqu’à la fin du Moyen-Age, Museum Lessianum. Section historique 18 (Paris-Leuven: Desclée de Brouwer 1958), which, however, addresses the question mainly from a canonical point of view.

  2. ‘Miaphysite’ (from the expression mia phusis) is a term used by several scholars today to replace ‘Monophysite’, which is deemed theologically less accurate and thus unacceptable, in particular to members of the non-Chalcedonian churches: see D. W. Winkler, ‘Miaphysitism. A new term for use in the history of dogma and in ecumenical theology’, The Harp 10 (1997) 33–40. (I am indebted to Sebastian Brock and Volker Menze for this reference.)
