The Life of Maximus the Confessor. Recension 3

by Bronwen Neil and Pauline Allen, eds.

Recent Reviews

The present volume gives the text of the third recension with critical apparatus and a good English translation, together with an introduction. This introduction surveys the sources for Maximus' life, gives a brief account of that life, sets it in its historical context, discusses the relationships between the three recensions of the Life and the Greek manuscript tradition for the Life, and briefly assesses Maximus' significance...This is a thoroughly useful volume, a worthy addition to what is an excellent series, Early Christian Studies.
