François Nau dedicated much of his career to the task of making sources for the study of Eastern Christianity more available for scholarly research. Here Nau publishes the Greek text of eighteen stories pertaining to the monk Anastasius of Mount Sinai. Nau gathers the stories from various sources and provides introductory remarks concerning the stories, the manuscript sources, authorship, and the relationship of these stories to similar material in John Moschos’s Spiritual Meadow. These stories are valuable sources for information concerning monastic life because they include variations from the same stories found in Moschos and because they include unique information about Amos, the bishop of Jerusalem. Nau presents the edited Greek text of these stories along with notes where necessary.
