2012 Reprint of Original 1934 Edition. Exact facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
This is a one-volume edition of the work published in 1907 in two
volumes under the title "The Paradise, or Garden of the Holy
Fathers...." The work comprises "The Life of St. Anthony"
attributed to Athanasius, "The Paradise" written by Palladius, "The
Rule of Pachomius" and "The History of the Monks" by Jerome. The
work has long been an important source for the knowledge of
Egyptian monasticism. It is a history of the anchorites, recluses,
monks, coenobites and ascetic fathers of the deserts of Egypt,
between A.D. 250 and A.D. 400.
ATHANASIUS, Bishop of Alexandria and one of the most illustrious
defenders of the Christian faith, was born at Alexandria about the
year 297. Before the outbreak of the Arian controversy, which began
in 319, Athanasius had made himself known as the author of two
essays addressed to a convert from heathenism, one of them entitled
Against the Gentiles, and the other On the Incarnation of the Word.
Both are of the nature of apologetical treatises, arguing such
questions as monotheism, and the necessity of divine interposition
for the salvation of the world; and already in the second may be
traced that tone of thought respecting the essential divinity of
Christ as the "God-man" for which he afterwards became conspicuous.
