The text's heading attributes it to Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, but this attribution is questionable. Exploring issues of authorship and context, this book locates the origins of \u003ci\u003eOn Love and Self-Control\u003c\/i\u003e in the Upper Egyptian Pachomian monastic community of the mid-fourth century. It then traces the various uses of \u003ci\u003eOn Love and Self-Control\u003c\/i\u003e to the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, when the single surviving manuscript was copied as part of an anthology at the Monastery of St. Shenoute of Atripe. A partial reconstruction of this now dismembered codex is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42611254493280,"sku":"9780879070724","price":36.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/TlFXbm1lVjY1WE1iMm5iN0RNTFRIUT09.webp?v=1772067333","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-text-of-a-coptic-monastic-discourse-on-love-and-self-control-its-story-from-the-fourth-century-to-the-twenty-first-volume-272-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
