About this eBook
After the death of Ignatius in 877, the Emperor made Photius again Patriarch of Constantinople. A council was convened in 879, held at Constantinople, comprising the representatives of all the five patriarchates, including that of Rome (all in all 383 bishops). John VIII would recognize the validity of Photius's claim upon the restoration of the patriarchate in Constantinople. This council, sometimes called the eighth ecumenical in the Orthodox Church was attended by the papal legates, who had brought with them a gift from the pope—a pallium for Photius.
