The pious reader is offered an edition of one of the most ancient sources on the history of monasticism, the Dostopamyatnye tales about the asceticism of the saints and blessed fathers (Alphabetic Paterik), also known under the names "Sayings of the Fathers" and "Apoftegmas". Compiled in the 5th century and arranged in alphabetical order in the 6th century, the Sayings are short and simple in form, but profound in meaning, accounts of the miracles, feats and sayings of the holy fathers of the founders of monasticism. In them, the reader will draw for himself the unfading saving spiritual wisdom of Christian holiness and instructive role models. The book is intended for the widest possible readership.
