The Greek Historia Monachorum in Aegypto was one of the most widely
read and disseminated Greek hagiographic texts during Late
Antiquity and the Middle Ages. To this day it remains, alongside
Athanasius' Life of Antony, one of the core primary sources for
fourth-century Egyptian monasticism as well as one of the most
fascinating, yet perplexing, pieces of monastic hagiography to
survive from the entire patristic period. However, until now it has
not received the intensive and sustained scholarly analysis that a
monograph affords. In this study, Andrew Cain incorporates insights
from source criticism, stylistic and rhetorical analysis, literary
criticism, and historical, geographical, and theological studies in
an attempt to break new ground and revise current scholarly
orthodoxy about a broad range of interpretive issues and problems.
