Ah, I see.  Did not make such assumption, Fr. Lev. Did you know that this western source hypothesis for the Exomologetarion has been debunked?  Check out the introduction to its english translation by Fr. George Metallinos, who mentions this fact and the scholar that did this.  It is good to know you found a source, though.

Revision as of 23:37, October 17, 2010

Can someone confirm that St. Nikodemos translated Loyola's Spiritual Exercises? I know that he published a book called that, but do not know where the author of the article is getting his source information.

I'll just add that it's a shame that the article is so short on Orthodox Wiki when even wikipedia has much more useful and accurate information about this saint and father of the Church.
