	Bryennios elaborated the most detailed explication of Byzantine triadology. His opus magnum is formed with 21 theological homilies delivered in different places before the high officials of the Church and the State in 1421 and 1422 and the Hortatory Sermon on the Unity of the Churches, 1422, which look together as a teaching course composed from 22 lectures. The main feature of Bryennios’s “teaching course” of triadology is its fundamentality. Far from being limited to the Filioque, it explores the very notions of divine hypostases and their mutual relations.

			The novelty of Bryennios’s approach will become more understandable against some historical background. The Palamite “energetical” understanding of δι’ υἱοῦ (“through the Son”) goes back to Gregory of Cyprus and, through him, to Nicephore Blemmydes. The original meaning of the Blemmydian “through the Son” remains an object of scholarly discussions, but, at least, “the Blemmydes of the Palamite tradition” is the Blemmydes we seem to know. In one of Blemmydes’s most influential works, we read: “…if the Logos and the Spirit are from the Father as from the principle/beginning and not as one of the two is through another (μὴ διὰ θατέρου θάτερον), a division would be introduced into the divinity”.
