The saintly austerities of Mary of Egypt so impressed early monks that they recorded her life to edify their brethren. Many versions circulated and the tale traveled. Here we see Mary through the eyes of three medieval poets: Flodoard, a canon of Reims (+ 966), Hildebert of Lavardin, a bishop, (+ 1134), and an Anonymous Spaniard.

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Open this small compendium to any page and you'll find the Desert Fathers at their finest - humble, generous, surprisingly flexible with their brothers, and willing themselves to assume blame rather than hinder any man. Known respectively as the ''Great Old Man'' and the ''Other Old Man,'' Barsanuphius and John lived as hermits near Gaza in the early sixth century. They did not entertain visitors and maintained a practice of strict seclusion (in neighboring caves), conveying their spiritual wisdom through letters to those who sought counsel. John offers practical advice while Barsanuphius resp...

Seller ID:: 143554

ISBN: 0728301091

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

''It is not the desert that makes a desert father anymore than it is the lion that makes the martyr,'' says Metropolitan Anthony Bloom in the introduction to this slim volume of sayings first collected in the fifth century. The sytematic sayings are organized by topics such as compunction, self-control, obedience, mercy, and long-suffering. Far from romantic, mystified visions of the spiritual life, here is hard-headed advice to fellow monks about the actions necessary to take in pursuit of humility and love. As one old man puts it: ''Spiritual work is essential, it is for this we have come to...
