Description & Specifications

The greatest interest of the vernacular translation of the Life of St. Anthony, as preserved in the chronologically latest cataloged manuscript of the Greek manuscripts of the Marcian Library in Venice, lies mainly in the fact that it is a post-Byzantine text that dares to engage with a classical hagiographical model, written perhaps by the most significant patristic pen of the 4th century, that of Athanasius of Alexandria.

Inevitably, the research weight of this editorial work primarily rests on the explicit notice of the anonymous author “in plain terms,” that is, on the linguistic essence of his undertaking. However, this literary significance or even bias not only does not undermine but rather highlights in its own way the purely theological value of the text, which, beyond the given and timeless prestige of the meeting of two “greats,” the biographer St. Athanasius and the subject of the biography St. Anthony, with the mediation of the purposefully anonymous translator, serves as a lucid testimony of the thematic choices and expressive modes of post-Byzantine hagiographical literature.
