Pachomius: The Making of a Community in Fourth-Century Egypt - Transformation of the Classical Heritage Revised edition
Philip Rousseau
Pachomius, who died in 346, has long been regarded as the "founder of monasticism". This reading of the available texts, first published in 1985, reveals that Pachomius's pioneering enterprise has been consistently misread in light of later monastic practices.
