The Slavonic version of the homily dedicated to The (Cursed) Fig-Tree and the Parable of the Vineyard by John Damascene has not been so far object of an archeographic-textological study. The present study gives the initial observations on the reception of that Byzantine work in Mediaeval Slavonic Literature. The work centred mainly on the South Slavonic manuscript tradition, while the East Slavonic manuscript tradition represented by the text from the well-known Uspensky Miscellany was used as a starting point and as a basis for comparison during the analysis. The study showed that in Mediaeval Slavonic Literature the homily dedicated to The (Cursed) Fig-Tree and the Parable of the Vineyard by John Damascene has been disseminated through three different Slavonic translations, one redaction, and one contaminated version.

In this study the concept of ‘aeon’ in John Damascene is discussed. More specifically, relying on his treatise under the title An exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, the relation between aeon and the created world, as well as the resulted from it combination of Cosmology with Eschatology, are first of all investigated. Subsequently, the relation between aeon and the Holy Trinity, taking into account all the ways in which it is manifested, as well as the combination of Henology with Eschatology, are approached. Throughout the entire reasoning, it arises that the Christian thinker utilizes the Words, that is, the divinely inspired texts, as an objective proof for the Christian validity of his arguments. The most important conclusion drawn is that the term “aeon” has many meanings and each one of them is formulated according to the metaphysical or natural ontological plane to which they refer.

Christianity is the religion of the word and image. Both the word and image play an important role in the process of passing on the faith. The attitude of early Christianity to art was determined by two important factors. Firstly, in Christian communities which were formed by converted Jews, the Old Testament prohibition against images and worshipping them was strongly em- phasized; secondly they feared idolatry. The first apologists of the 2nd century (Aristides, Tatian the Assyrian, Justin Martyr, Tertullian and Origen) explicitly scorned production of any images. In the 4th century, when Christianity was growing in signi cance and building Christian churches was permitted, then Christian writers such as: Saint Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Hypatius of Ephesus and Paulinus of Nola started to express their opinions on these issues in a less adamant way than it happened in the rst three centuries. In the 6th and 7th century, thanks to Saint Gregory the Great (Pope Gregory I) and John of Damascus, the Church’s attitude to art crystallized and eventually art was given due respect. is several century long discussion on the role of “representational art” in Christianity culminated during the second Council of Nicaea.
