Theodosius of Jerusalem (bishop 451-453) also counts[edit]
The first Theodosius of Jerusalem was the anti-Chalcedonian counter-bishop (maybe he also adoptedd the title of patriarch?) in 451-453, in opposition to Juvenal of Jerusalem. Juvenal became Patriarch at Chacedon (451), but was chased out by the Monophysites, and returned with an army in 453, when he had to "share" the title of bishop with Theodosius for a while (see [1]). So, this here is the 9th-century Theodosius of Jerusalem, and Juvenal's adversary (5th century) should maybe be styled Theodosius I of Jerusalem (451-453). Unless the scholarly literature doesn't use these numbers. So, who KNOWS? For now we at least need some disambiguation. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 20:45, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Shhhnotsoloud, and thanks. If you prefer, there's also a Theodosius of Jerusalem DAB page you can point to alternatively, but like this I believe it's best.
What I honestly don't know: patriarch or Patriarch? Maybe the same question about archbishop too, but that only means one thing, while p-and P- change the meaning altogether. I can't grasp the English-language rule for titles, specifically for such cases. Do you know it well? Thanks, Arminden (talk) 07:52, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But that's exactly what's happened. Besides, I'm not sure that a 2-item DAB page isn't in danger of being erased by some zelous rules-follower. I'm always in favour of user-friendliness, in this case: offering explicit information about a personality known by exactly the same name who, from today's perception, lived in the same broad period (although that's inaccurate).
We chose to call both "Theodosius of Jerusalem", but that's not an universally established standard, at least not for the earlier one. Unlike major royalty, their bynames and titles vary. Nobody uses for instance Theodosius I of Jerusalem and Theodosius II of Jerusalem. The early one was an anti-Chalcedonian installed as counter-bishop to an incumbent, orthodox bishop and eventually had to flee; the later Theo was orthodox in every way and uncontested.
PS: I got it all started with my edits for the other Theodosius and the post here-above from Jan. 2020. Srnec dealt with the whole complex half a year later, when he wrote an article for the earlier Theo, choosing the death year as distinctive detail for the titles, and also created the DAB page. I'm not sure though that anyone would look them up by death year. There are dozens of ways how someone can land here. So hatnote, definitely, to cover all the bases.
