Cyril, St
(d. 444). Patriarch of Alexandria from 412, and church father . His career after c. 430 was dominated by the controversy over church authority (he drove out schismatic followers of Novatian ), christology , and specifically by his opposition to Nestorius . The Neoplatonist philosopher, Hypatia, was murdered by the mob, possibly at Cyril's instigation. The episode evoked a novel by Charles Kingsley. In the E. he is ‘the Seal of the Fathers’, in the W. a doctor of the Church (since 1882).Read the rest of this article with a Free Trial at HighBeam Research.
