About this Item
8vo 251pp. from front flap: "Since all the monastic orders trace their origins ultimately to him, Saint Anthony of the Desert has often been called the Father of Monks. Yet Henri Queffelec's truly brilliant book is the first modern life of this simple Egyptian peasant who became one of the most famous ascetics of all time. Delightfully and movingly written, it draws upon all dependable sources of information to recreate the wise and gentle personality of Saint Anthony against the setting of his dramatic era." #02111. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, toning and offset to endpapers, text clean, binding tight. DJ VG-: mild edge wear and chipping at spine, not clipped. Seller Inventory # 2049
