Trilingual heresy
The trilingual heresy is the claim that it is only lawful to praise God in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.[1]
It is mentioned in the life of Cyril and Methodius in connection with their translations of liturgical texts at the foundation of Slavic churches and oppositions of such a teaching. The supporters of this heresy were defeated in a theological dispute at St. Mark's Square in Venice by Cyril the Philosopher. The first translation of scripture into another of these languages was blessed by Pope Nicholas I, after the relics of Pope Clement I were brought to Rome.[2]
The work of Cyril and Methodius was saved by their disciples by the Bulgarian rulers Boris I and Simeon the Great. The time of the 10th century is known as the golden Age of medieval Bulgarian culture.[3] In the Preslav Literary School, the Bible is translated with the two works of Josephus - the Jewish War and the Antiquities of the Jews. The first became known as the "Slavonic Josephus".
