Born in Galatia in the 360s, Palladius enrolled as a monk on the
Mount of Olives in his early twenties. As a monk, he traveled to
Alexandria, the desert of Nitria, the Cells, Palestine, Rome, and
the Thebaid. During his travels he encountered Rufinus of Aquileia,
Melania the Elder, the hermit Dorotheos, Macarius of Alexandria,
Evagrius of Pontus, Jerome of Bethlehem, and John Chrysostom. He
wrote this elegant account of his visits to various monastic sites
in Egypt toward the end of the fourth century AD for the imperial
chamberlain Lausus. It is both the most sophisticated and the most
informative of the few documents illustrating the earliest chapter
in the history of Christian monasticism. Palladius's work is the
only one of the major monastic writings not written for fellow
monks to inspire them with models for their emulation but rather
for a man very much of the world, with the explicit intention of
exerting not only religious but also political influence.
