The paper will explore the manner in which Cyril of Alexandria acquired
his status as a norm of orthodoxy in the context of the council of
Chalcedon. It is quite undisputed, that Cyril was seen as the most
important pillar of orthodoxy (after the Nicaenum) at the council of
Chalcedon. Less studied is the way he got this importance and what the
reference to Cyril meant. The study will explore the significance of the
antiochene use of the conciliar letters of Cyril as norm of orthodoxy.
It further wants to question the dissolution of the pattern of
Antiochene and Alexandrian theology or schools for a homogenized
picture of Chalcedon as a Council of "mainstream Cyrillians".
