The Tales and Sayings of the Desert Fathers (Apophthegmata Patrum)
are a key source of evidence for the practice and theory
respectively of eremitic monasticism, a significant phenomenon
within the early history of Christianity. The publication of this
book finally ensures the availability of all three major
collections which constitute the work, edited and translated into
English. Richer in Tales than the 'Alphabetic' collection to which
this is an appendix (both to be dated c.AD 500), the 'Anonymous'
collection presented in this volume furnishes almost as much
material for the study of the late antique world from which the
monk sought to escape as it does for the monastic endeavour itself.
More material continued to be added well into the seventh century
and so the spread and gradual evolution of monasticism are
illustrated here over a period of about two and a half centuries.
