PARKER, L., Symeon Stylites the Younger and Late Antique Antioch. From Hagiography to History. Oxford University Press, 2022. 288p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Byzantium. Throughout this book, Parker's analysis of fascinating texts is supported by her concise and insightful overviews of existing scholarship, as well as her knowledge of the region's archaeology. One of the book's greatest strengths is its balance between the specific and the general: Symeon the Younger's monastery was grounded in its own particular disputes and personalities, while also being embedded in the broader political, socio-economic and religious developments of the period.
