The life of Saint George of Choziba

Written by one of his most devoted disciples, Antony, The Life of Saint George of Choziba (634) provides a vivid portrayal of Palestinian or early Byzantine monasticism. Chronicling the daily life and profound spirituality of George and his disciples at Choziba, Antony's text is a classic document of early Christianity. Protector and guardian of the monastery, the Holy Mother of God was vitally important to Antony and his fellow monks. The story of her Miracles constitutes an excellent companion piece to the life of Saint George. The first translation from the Greek available, Tim Vivian and Apostolos Athanassakis's text will prove an important addition to the literature on early monasticism and Christianity. Tim Vivian's clear introduction and notes will provide readers and researchers with many further insights into the history of Choziba and its monks, and into the continuing importance of monastic spirituality.
