Overview: This volume explores how Greek and Latin authors across the Mediterranean and Europe deployed related texts to form monastic communities in different veins. Using the Apophthegmata Patrum as an exemplar, Zachary B. Smith argues that late antique, early medieval, and Byzantine authors selectively utilized monastic sayings texts to form their particular monastic worlds. By translating, editing, systematizing, and elaborating on these sayings, the authors formed their communities in specific ways. Early Byzantines marshalled the sayings to form ascetic subjects through contemplating the sayings, with less reference to monastic systems. In systematizing the original alphabetic collection, an anonymous editor turned the sayings into an encyclopedia that deemphasized individual contemplation, and instead emphasized the role of the master. In Europe, translating the sayings into Latin, systematizing them in Latin, making midrashim, and distilling them into rules furthered this process of using the sayings as tools for institutional formation in the medieval period.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A solid 4 stars from me.
