Abstract
The topic of this contribution is the sacramental symbolism
in the work Commentary of Divine Liturgy by Nicola Cabasilas.
It is articulated in several parts. The first part, with some brief,
introductory, biographic data on Cabasilas, is dedicated to the
analysis of his theology of the sacrament. In that context we stop
to search the literary kind of the Commentary, the continuity of
his theology with patristic theology, and we observe the essential
theses of his theological method. The second part deals with
the sacramental symbolism in the Commentary in the light of
which we analyse the application of Cabasilas’ hermeneutics to
the sacramental rite. In conclusion we synthesise the results of
previously conducted analyses and observe the essential moments
of his symbolic hermeneutics of the sacrament.
