  • The Greek Historia Monachorum in Aegypto. Monastic Hagiography in the Late Fourth Century. Oxford University Press, 2016. 342p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Early Christian Studies. Cain has written a study of this which will prove invaluable to all those interested in late antique monasticism, Egypt and hagiography, with chapters on the text, the authorship, the genre, the literary influences and the style before moving on to look more directly at what the work describes... Cain's book though is a wonderfully learned and informative study of this most engaging of ancient texts.
