Notes

"Greek philosopher and lay theologian."1 "One of the most important late antique philosophers and Aristotelian commentators, John Philoponus was also a prolific theologian. He was a miaphysite and, based on his Aristotelian background, became one of the main proponents of tritheism in the 560s. He also argued that new bodies would be created at the Last Judgement. These ideas were considered as heretical by miaphysite authors, for instance in Joh. Eph., EH 2.51."9
