The “Creations of the Ancient Ascetic Fathers” offered to the reader are a reissue of a book that has become a bibliographic rarity, published in the 1990s. The publication presents translations of patristic ascetic writings by such famous authors of the Egyptian desert of the 4th century as St. Ammon, St. Serapion of Tmuit, Rev. Macarius of Egypt, Stephen of Thebaid, Blessed. Iperechios, and also the great Cappadocian St. Gregory of Nyssa. These works contain the spiritual wisdom and ascetic experience of the ancient saints, which is so necessary and in demand in modern church and especially monastic life. The translation of these monuments of ancient church monastic writing was carried out by MDA professor A. I. Sidorov and provided with extensive scientific comments. The editors also hope that this patrolological publication will attract the attention of teachers and students of religious educational institutions and simply thoughtful Orthodox readers who are not indifferent to the patristic heritage.
