This article is an attempt to reconstruct the exegetical method of St. Isidore of Pelusium. St. Isidore as a theologian and exegete was formed in the context of the Alexandrian theological tradition, but at the same time under the influence of the person and works of St. John Chrysostom he became acquainted with the traditional approaches of the Antiochian exegetical school in the interpretation of Holy Scripture. In addition to the writings of St. John Chrysostom St. Isidore also read the works of other Antiochians: Eusebius of Ames, Diodorus of Tarsus, Theodore of Mopsuestia, and others. As a result of this acquaintance, the monk incorporated into his hermeneutic system several Antiochian exegetical principles. Therefore, to reconstruct the exegetical method of St. Isidore of Pelusium one needs to consider the influence of both the Alexandrian and the Antiochian theological schools. It is important to determine the sources of the content and the possible scale of influence of both traditions. For this it is necessary to conduct a search and analysis of possible borrowings. In the commentaries on excerpts from the historical and legislative books of the Holy Scriptures, the influence of the spiritual and moral allegorisms of Philo and Origen prevails. In the interpretations of the Messianic prophetic texts — the influence of the interpretations of Diodorus of Tarsus, Theodore of Mopsuestia, and St. John Chrysostom.
