{"product_id":"the-gnostic-chapters-stephen-j-davis-9789004539709","title":"The Gnostic Chapters: A Critical Edition and Translation of Evagrius Ponticus' Kephalaia Gnostika in Arabic","description":"In the late fourth century, the early Christian monk and author Evagrius Ponticus wrote his \u003ci\u003emagnum opus\u003c\/i\u003e in Greek--entitled \u003ci\u003eKephalaia Gnostika\u003c\/i\u003e (\"Gnostic Chapters\")--a spiritual treatise on ascetic contemplation and unity with God. After Evagrius' death, however, his theology attracted controversy, and many of his writings were suppressed or destroyed. As a result, complete copies of this important work principally survived only in Syriac translations and an Armenian adaptation, until the recent discovery of two Arabic copies at the so-called Monastery of the Syrians in Egypt. The present volume represents the first-ever critical edition and translation of the \u003ci\u003eKephalaia Gnostika\u003c\/i\u003e in that language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen J.
