Subject

Publisher

Summary :Walking Corpses, was inspired by these lines from an
anonymous funeral oration, delivered in 407 in honor of the former bishop
of Constantinople, John Chrysostom (see appendix 3 for the entire section of
this speech dealing with leprosy). The same image of the victims of leprosy
as half- dead, walking corpses appears in Gregory of Nazianzos’s powerful
sermon, On the Love of the Poor, and in Gregory of Nyssa’s oration on leprosy
(see appendix 2 for the full text)
