| Summary: | For many students of early monasticism the writings of Shenoute remain an undiscovered country which we fear to explore for ourselves and know of only at second hand. Even the first monograph on Shenoute in English, Rebecca Krawiec's Shenoute and the Women of the White Monastery: Egyptian Monasticism in Late Antiquity (Oxford University Press, 2002) does not seem to have done much as yet to encourage wider awareness of the territory. But Stephen Emmel's immensely learned and painstaking reconstruction of Shenoute's literary corpus on the basis of the surviving White Monastery codices of his works is likely (and deserves) to change this situation considerably. |
