From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Council of chalcedon - (1876)

Florentius of Sardis was a 5th century bishop of Sardis and theologian.

He was also an attendee to the Council of Chalcedon[1] fl 451.[2] where he noted himself by giving impromptu translations of Latin text for his Greek speaking colleagues.[3] and at one heated point in the Council, he called for an adjournment.[4] He was also one of 22 delegates who formed a subcommittee of the Council, to examine and formulate the statement for the general Synod.[5]

He was the recipient of a letter from Theodoret,[6] who urged Florentius to oppose heresy and support those who are being persecuted.
