Evagrius of Pontus (c.345-399) was one of the most prominent
figures among the monks of the desert settlements of Nitria,
Sketis, and Kellia in Lower Egypt. Through the course of his
ascetic writings he formulated a systematic presentation of the
teaching of the semi-eremitic monks of these settlements. The works
of Evagrius had a profound influence on Eastern Orthodox monastic
teaching and passed to the West through the writings of John
Cassian (c.365-435). This is the first complete English translation
of Evagrius' Greek ascetic writings, based on modern critical
editions, where available, and, where they are not, on collations
of the principal manuscripts. Two appendices provide variant
readings for the Greek texts and the complete text of the long
recension of Eulogios. The translations are accompanied by a
commentary to guide the reader through the intricacies of Evagrian
thought by offering explanatory comments and references to other
Evagrian texts and relevant scholarly literature. Finally, detailed
indexes are provided to allow the reader to identify and study the
numerous themes of Evagrian teaching.
