Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Holy Eastern Church, Vol. 2: The Patriarchate of Alexandria The Severians interpreted the works of that Bishop differently as to some doctrinal points, from the rest of the Monophysites. They were divided into nine sects, of which none attained much notoriety except the Agnoites. These were so named from their distinguishing tenet, that, while the word was Omniscient, the Human soul hypostatically united to Him was ignorant of much. Of other sects we shall have occasion to speak inci dentally. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
