Zharkaya, Varvara (Author)
Throughout the whole Byzantine era, we witness the coexistence of the spherical conception of the universe (which has its roots in ancient science) and the pattern of tabernacle based on the Holy Writ. Only once, in the 6th century, the opposite views became a subject for a dispute, but even then rather as a part of a broader theological controversy. Since that time, the two conceptions survived in different cultural milieus and thence had no point of intersection. In the 12th century, Michael Glycas approached the issue. By proving that the universe has a shape of a sphere, he tried to make scholarly knowledge available to a general public. In doing so, he even dared to come into contradiction with John Chrysostom himself.
