Description
Antony the Great : Life and State, is the main ascetic work of Athanasius the Great. It was probably written in 357, a year after the death of Antony the Great, in order to respond to a request from monks in the West, who wished to learn more about Antony, the “teacher of the desert.” The form and content of the work, as well as Antony’s fame, which had already reached Rome, Spain, France and elsewhere, contributed to the introduction and wider spread of monasticism in the West. Athanasius the Great presents with grace and clarity the facts about the birth and childhood of Antony, the distribution of his property to the poor, the first spiritual exercises, the flight to the desert, the temptations, the founding of monasteries, the miraculous interventions of the Saint. After quoting an extensive speech to monks (on various spiritual topics), he speaks of the ascetic life of the desert, his support for persecuted Christians, his character, includes discussions with national philosophers, correspondence with the emperor, various apparitions, etc. and details his blessed end. The Life of Antony the Great was and is an attractive and instructive read. For this reason, it is also translated and circulated in many modern European languages.
