Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lausiac History of Palladius, Vol. 1: A Critical Discussion Together With Notes on Early Egyptian Monachism
Dr Budge, for placing at my disposal his fine ms. Copy of the Syriac Paradise of anan-isho: and M. Omont, for the assistance he has given me while working in the Bibliotheque Nationale. My thanks are further due to Professor Robinson and to Mr Edmund Bishop, both of whom have read the entire book in MS and also in proof; there are few pages that do not bear the marks of their criticisms and corrections. Mr Bishop worked with me in the pre liminary comparison of the Latin documents and the investiga tion of their relations, the results of which are embodied in 4. Professor Robinson, as Editor of the Series, has thrown himself into the work as if it were his own. In the difficult section on the Coptic Version his help amounted to full collaboration.
