Abstract
Chapter 2 discusses the use of theological proof text, florilegia and generally the use of argument in the 530s in order to understand what the motives of the protagonists were, and to answer the question why the situation in the 520s had changed significantly. If accepted, Pope Hormisdas' carefully crafted libellus would have erased the post-Chalcedonian tradition of the non-Chalcedonians and replaced it with a papal remodelling of the past. What follows is a detailed study of why the (ecclesiastical) diptychs were important for the churches in order to construct their (apostolic) past and tradition in the fifth and sixth centuries. It is the first study of diptychs and how the names in them of those remembered became relevant for every local church. The libellus seems to have been the trigger for the resistance of the non-Chalcedonian bishops, and in order not to be erased from the religious landscape like the Arians, they needed to establish their own church.
