Three Chapters, the. The three subjects condemned by Justinian in an edict of 543–4, namely
1. the person and works of
Theodore of Mopsuestia;
2. the writings of
Theodoret against Cyril of Alexandria; and
3. the letter of Ibas of Edessa to Maris. As all three were considered sympathetic to
Nestorius, Justinian hoped the edict would conciliate the
Monophysites. The E. Patriarchs assented, but Pope Vigilius at first refused to approve the edict on the ground that it opposed the decrees of the Council of
Chalcedon. After the Fifth General Council at
Constantinople in 553 had condemned the Three Chapters, the Pope accepted the Council's decision.
