The Asketikon of St Basil the Great comprises a new English
translation and studies which re-examine the emergence of
monasticism in Asia Minor. The Regula Basilii, translated by
Rufinus from Basil's Small Asketikon, is closely compared with the
Greek text of the longer edition, as a means to tracing the
development of ideas. Silvas concludes that the antecedents of the
monastic community of the Great Asketikon are best sought not in
some kind of sub-orthodox modus vivendi of male and female ascetics
living together and increasingly curbed by an emerging neo-Nicene
orthodoxy less favourable to women ('homoiousian asceticism'), but
in the local domestic ascetic movement in Anatolia as typified in
the developments at Annisa under the leadership of Makrina.
