Description

The Philokalia is a collection of traditional texts on orthodox, mainly solitary, prayer, running from the 4th Century Egyptian anchorites through to the 15th Century monks of Mount Athos via the Sinai. More than merely a translation of the Philokalia, Jean Gouillard opted to provide a vast, homogeneous and discerningly chosen selection. Included, among others, are Evagrius Ponticus, Isaac of Nineveh, John Climacus, Symeon the New Theologian, Gregory of Sinai, Gregory Palamas... This work therefore represents the most complete anthology possible on the history and the practice of prayer of the heart.
