Description: Text of a Coptic Monastic Discourse on Love and Self-Control : Its Story from the Fourth Century to the Twenty-First, Paperback by Schneider, Carolyn M., ISBN 0879070722, ISBN-13 9780879070724, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book introduces a beautiful fourth-century Coptic discourse on love and self-control in its first English translation. The text&;s heading attributes it to Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, but this attribution is questionable. Exploring issues of authorship and context, this book locates the origins of On Love and Self-Control in the Upper Egyptian Pachomian monastic community of the mid-fourth century. It then traces the various uses of On Love and Self-Control to the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, when the single surviving manuscript was copied as part of an anthology at the Monastery of St. Shenoute of Atripe. A partial reconstruction of this now dismembered codex is provided.
