Seller's Description:
New. A collection of 153 short, epigrammatic sayings of St. Isaac the Syrian (died ca. 700), heretofore untranslated into English. One sentence from this holy father can offer spiritual sustenance and exercise for a day, indeed, rightly considered, for a lifetime. St. Isaac has had enormous influence on Orthodox spirituality, yet few writers are so difficult to find in English, especially since the disappearance from print of his Ascetical Homilies. This publication, despite its brevity, contains a valuable survey of the textual history of St. Isaac's works and a listing of main translations.
