The beauty of dialog: The disputes between the Greek and Latin theologians in the period of the Komnenoi from the western perspective

Abstract

On the basis of the chosen Latin primary sources on religious disputes held by the Greek and Latin theologians in the 12th century we assess the intellectual climate in both camps in the eve of the great crisis and the outbreak of mutual hostilities after the government of the Emperor Manuel I. Komnenos, as well as the concrete contribution of these disputes to the Western intellectual culture.
