	A. Nadson. Spiritual Writings of St Cyril of TuraÅ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		St Cyril of TuraÅ is considered the greatest 'byzantinist' among the early East Slavonic writers.
		The ascetic works of St Cyril of TuraÅ consist of two writings on the monastic life.[2] The first is called The "Parable of the Carefree King".[3] It seems to be one of Cyril's early works and is characterized by a certain 'youthful' enthusiasm and one-sidedness, untempered by moderation which is the result of long experience.
		Although the prayers of St Cyril are (as we have said) penitential in character, the stress is laid everywhere on the idea of God's infinite mercy and his love for men, which shines like a light of hope before the sinner and saves him from falling into despair.

	Did St. Cyril kill Hypatia
		The accusation here is that Cyril, who was later canonized as a Catholic saint, assembled a mob of monks and had Hypatia dragged into a church where the monks tore her flesh with potsherds 'til she died.
		Cyril is responsible for defending the Dogma of the Trinity against Nestorias who just about won out in convincing the Church that the Human and Devine Nature of Jesus were separate.
		Without Cyril, it is doubtful that we Christianity today would understand the Trinity of God as three persons in One, and the unity of Christ's human and divine nature.

		In scholarship and ability St. Naum of Ohrid was almost the equal of St. Clement, as can be seem from the fact that Constantine the Philosopher (St. Cyril) chose him, together with Clement, to accompany him to Moravia.
		It is not accidental that St. Naum is referred to during the liturgy by the expression "light of all the people of Moesia".
		It is well known, however, that Hrabar’s apology is the most clearly reasoned defense of Cyril’s work, not only as a continuation of the struggle against trilingualism, but as a protest against the Grecophile party, which aimed to impose its wishes with regard to the alphabet as well as gain control of church life.

	The Writings of Cyril of Alexandria
		Cyril responded with a focussed insistence on the absolute oneness of the incarnate Christ: there is ever and only a single subject to the 'who' of the incarnate Word -- the 'Word made flesh', as indicated by John (Jn 1.14).
		In explaining this singular subjectivity, Cyril developed the Christological language of an hypostatic union by appropriation; that is, a union of natures at the level of hypostasis, or subsistent, existential reality, by which the eternal Logos appropriates to himself the fullness of true human life.
		Through this language of hypostatic union, Cyril was able to articulate a genuine union of natures which did not inculcate either nature in a merger or transformation (Nestorius' concern), whilst still maintaining the singular subjectivity of the incarnate Christ (as per Athanasius before him).
