The New Edition of the Synodikon of Alexios Studites
The guiding opinion about the Synodikon has been that Synodikon was not modified 
substantially between 844 and 1082. However it is clear that there were additions mainly in the 
early tenth century, at the time of the synod which produced the so called ‘Tomos Unionis’ in 920. 
Moreover, the six manuscripts which give us the oldest surviving version point to an important 
edition dated to period of ca 1028-1034. Since this is the period of the patriarchate of Alexios 
Studites (1025-1043), this important step in the composition of the Synodikon may be termed the 
Synodikon of Alexios Studites. Among the many features which define it as being typical of his 
patriarchate, one may single out his combined effort against the dualist heresy (23 anathemas) and 
two anathemas against the Syro-Jacobites and Nestorians. The Syro-Jacobites in particular were the 
object of numerous synods gathered by Alexios Studites during the period 1025-1043. Therefore the 
Synodikon of Alexios Studites is not simply and accidentally dated to ca 1028-1034 but represents 
the cultural interests specifically tied to the patriarchate of Constantinople in the period 1025-1043, 
with its special focus on dualist heresies and especially the question of Nestorians and Syro-Jacobites.
