  Saint James the Less
With Theophilus at their head, the Christians retaliated by destroying the celebrated temple of Serapis, on the ruins of which the patriarch erected a church.
In 391 or 392 Theophilus was requested by the Synod of Capua to exert his influence to end the schism at Antioch.
Theophilus was summoned to Constantinople to answer their charges, and thus begins his connection with the tragedy of Chrysostom, which soon took the first place in his and the public interest.

Theophilus agreed to co-operate with him in the restoration of concord; and Acacius, bishop of Berea, and Isidore, whom Theophilus had proposed as a candidate for ordination instead of John, were sent on an embassy to Rome.
Theophilus readily promised to do as they requested; but as time passed away, and nothing more was effected for them, and it became evident that Theophilus was pretending, they again repaired to him, renewed their entreaties, and pressed him to be faithful to his engagement.
Theophilus, perceiving that there could be no l danger in following the example of Epiphanius, who was the object of popular praise, and who was admired for the virtue of his life, whatever his opinion might be, passed a vote similar to that of Epiphanius, with the concurrence of the bishops under his jurisdiction.

This Theophilus is the author of the Greek translation or paraphrase of the Institutes of Justinian, a fact which is now universally admitted, though some of the older critics supposed that there were two Theophili, one the compiler of the Institutes, and the other the author of the Greek version.
It may have been about the same time that Theophilus explained to his class the first part, or first four books (Trpcora), of the Digest, some fragments of which are preserved in the scholia on the Basilica: this explanation completed the first year's course of study.

 Silver Needlecase
Theophilus, writing in the 11th century, describes jewelry-making as requiring a very similar kit: a furnace and bellows, anvils of many shapes, hammers of many shapes, pincers including snips, drawplates for wire, and triangular, round and square files (Dodwell 1961).
Theophilus suggests soldering silver using winestone as a flux, which the editor explains is cream of tartar (Dodwell 1961).
Theophilus mentions the use of borax (parahas) as a flux for niello work, and it was commonly used by Anglo-Saxon jewelers (Coatsworth and Pinder 2002).

Theophilus, however though entertaining the very same opinion respecting the Divine nature, yet to gratify his vindictive feelings, did not hesitate to pervert what he and they had rightly taught: but imposed upon the majority of the monks, men who were sincere but 'rude in speech,'(4) the greater part of whom were quite illiterate.
Theophilus on receiving intimation of the success of his device, went to Nitria where the monasteries are, accompanied by a multitude of persons, and armed the monks against Dioscorus and his brethren; who being in danger of losing their lives, made their escape with great difficulty.
Theophilus, seeing what was done, fled to Alexandria without ceremony; and the other bishops, except the few who supported John, followed his example, and returned to their respective sees.

Theophilus’ book and a careful study of what is left of the great stained glass windows on the European cathedrals can help us in describing the state of the art of glass technology between the year 1100 and 1250.
All this makes Theophilus’ book even more precious: whoever he was he was very well informed at quite possibly a glass-maker himself: some of the details require first hand experience.
Theophilus was also a caring teacher: he is always very keen in preventing his readers from any damage or danger like when he recommends the blower to always keep the mouth off the pipe when not blowing, to avoid inhaling hot air that would seriously burn mouth and lungs.

For Theophilus, whose eye was ever fixed, not on Heaven, but on the main chance, had seriously compromised himself nine years before; and the sense that he had done so must have been one of the many skeletons which occupied the dark places of his soul.
Theophilus was present in all his pomp, and was surrounded by their adulations.
Theophilus was standing in an attitude of despair, and had lifted his clenched hands to heaven; but when he saw Eutropius looking at him he turned haughtily and indignantly away.

In summary, Jaume Huguet used a green pigment which was synthesised following a procedure similar to that described by a medieval monk, Theophilus the Presbyter.
All these phases are the result of the Theophilus' procedure of green pigment synthesis.

The monks of the early church had always produced books in their scriptoriums, and most if not all of these were religious in nature, but now they were copying manuscripts on such diverse subjects as biology, architecture and the arts.
One example is the Benedictine monk Theophilus Presbyter who wrote the Latin codex "Schedula diversarum artium" or "List of various arts".
In the case of Theophilus Presbyter, he was a skilled craftsman in his own right who often employed 'niello' which is a specialized form of metalic inlay.

 Medieval Architecture: The Rose Window
Theophilus indicates three furnaces are required: 1) a furnace for working the glass (this is where the glass is melted and worked; 2) an annealing (or cooling furnace); and 3) the furnace for spreading the glass sheets.
However, Theophilus managed to develop several different colored glasses simply by changing the duration of the glass working process: white, saffron-yellow, various shades of red, and finally, purple.
Research has shown these colors to be the result of high concentrations of manganese in the beechwood ashes coupled with varying iron content picked up from the clay posts used to work the glass.

The one to whom Luke addressed his Gospel and the Ac of the Apostles (compare Luke 1:3; Acts 1:1).
It has been suggested that Theophilus is merely a generic term for all Christians, but the epithet "most excellent" implies it was applied by Luke to a definite person, probably a Roman official, whom he held in high respect.
Theophilus may have been the presbyter who took part in sending the letter from the Corinthians to Paul, given in the "Acta Pauli" (compare Hennecke, Neutestamentliche Apokryphen, 378).
