His spiritual ministry and miracles reached beyond the walls of his monastery to the surrounding villages. He is known for a large body of Coptic Christian writings, now scattered in museums and libraries around the world.Western writers of his time, such as Jerome, Palladius and John Cassian, paid him little attention, because his loyalty to the Coptic language and culture set him apart from many Greek and Latin writers. His Life has come down to us in Coptic in both the Sahidic and Bohairic dialects.This translation is made from the Arabic Life as edited by the French Coptologist Am lineau. The Arabic Life is believed to have been translated from the Sahidic Coptic Life some time in the seventh century.The book is for anyone who loves the saints of the Coptic Church, for students of early Christian Egypt and Coptic history, and for readers interested in the origins of monasticism.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/99/419/106/0994191065_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "27.00", "online_price" : "27.00", "our_price" : "27.00", "club_price" : "27.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
