 Der Streit um die Methode der Naturbeobachtung im späten Byzanz - geistesgeschichtliche und theologische Konsequenzen, Orthodoxes Forum 6 (1992) 2, 209-220 (original) (raw)

On the other hand serves as the background for the theological debate of Hesychasm during the third decade of 14th century.
