Recenzii
‘There is much of interest in this collection of essays. [..] The first three papers work particularly well together, introducing the reader to the sophisticated debate over the use of Egyptian hagiography in the reconstruction of history. The other papers, while more tenuously bound together by a common interest in the continuing influence of the Egyptian ascetic tradition in the western Middle Ages, offer valuable evidence and intriguing methodological insights.’
