The purpose of the present contribution is to explore two of the principal sources of the &lt;i&gt;Firdaws&lt;/i&gt;: the &lt;i&gt;Macarian Homilies&lt;/i&gt; and the writings of St. Maximus the Confessor. This source-critical examination is a crucial preliminary step towards contextualizing the &lt;i&gt;Firdaws&lt;/i&gt; and determining more precisely the location and time of its composition.</note></biblStruct><bibl type="formatted" subtype="bibliography" resp="https://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-note-bibliography-17th-edition">
