Tome of Leo

A Letter to Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople
Book • 449
The Tome of Leo is a letter written by Pope Leo I in response to the excommunication of Eutyches by Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople.

It addresses the heresy of Monophysitism, affirming that Christ has two natures, both fully human and fully divine, united in one person without confusion or division.

This document was a central topic at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and remains a foundational text in Christology, defining the orthodox understanding of Christ's nature as the hypostatic union of divine and human natures.
