This analytical volume examines the various aspects of "De
emendanda vita monachica", combining this with the question of
whether this text by Eusthatios of Thessalonica with its polemical
fireworks and learned allusions was really intended for the monks
of the diocese, who are portrayed as being uneducated, or was
actually aimed at an unnamed readership. This question forms a
leitmotif through the various chapters of the study in which the
author locates the work historically within Eustathios' biography
and the context of contemporary monastic life, analyzes its place
in literary history together with the linguistic devices deployed
to establish the different stylistic levels and to influence the
psychology of the readers and paints in the theological and
hermeneutic background. A detailed commentary is appended. This
volume compliments the edition published in the series "Corpus
Fontium Historiae Byzantinae". Both volumes are available as a set
.
