Nil Sorsky (1433/34-1508), founder of the Sora Hermitage and
initiator of 'scete ' life in among Russian Christians, is closely
identified with the Orthodox contemplative prayer known as
hesychasm, 'stillness. ' In these translations, Nil's own voice
speaks across five hundred years to modern readers. The
introduction and notes accurately place him within the Russian
monastic tradition and identify the Slavic sources on which he
drew. This introduction to the life and works of pre-modern
Russia's outstanding teacher and writer allows English readers to
share in celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Nil's death, to
be marked in Russia by a symposium in the cloister of first his
tonsure, by special seminars, and learned conferences. David
Goldfrank, a specialist in Russian studies, is Professor of History
at Georgetown University. His previous translation and study of
fifteenth-century Russian monasticism, The Monastic Rule of Iosif
Volotsky, was first published in 1983 and revised and reissued in
2000.
