The Life Of St. Anthony
Peter Huys (1519-1584) Tentation de Saint-Antoine
Ce petit livre, écrit par Anathase d'Alexandrie, un chrétien égyptien de culture grecque du IIIème siècle, est une biographie un peu fantaisiste de Antoine d'Égypte, lequel passe pour le fondateur de l’érémitisme. Je me demande néanmoins si ce type d’ascétisme n’existait par avant, pensant à ceux dont Philon parle dans ses écrits.

PrologueYou have entered upon a noble rivalry with the monks of Egypt by your determination either to equal or surpass them in your training in the way of virtue. For by this time there are monasteries among you, and the name of monk receives public recognition. With reason, therefore, all men will approve this determination, and in answer to your prayers God will give its fulfilment. Now since you asked me to give you an account of the blessed Antony's way of life, and are wishful to learn how he began the discipline, who and what manner of man he was previous to this, how he closed his life, and whether the things told of him are true, that you also may bring yourselves to imitate hi |
