About This Book
Leo's Tome was a document sent by Pope Leo I to Flavian of Constantinople, explaining the position of the See of Rome in matters of Christology. The text confesses that Christ has two natures, both fully human and fully divine. The letter was a topic of debate at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 which was accepted by the Council as a doctrinal explanation of the nature of the Person of Christ, but not without great controversy, being rejected for its seemingly Nestorian tendencies by multiple major Eastern sees. The letter was written in response to Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople, who had excommunicated Eutyches, who also wrote to the Pope to appeal the excommunication.
