  2. Athanasius • The life of Antony • Five [-and-a-half] things: • Author • Athanasius (295ad-373ad) • Title • The life of Antony • Date • 356ad-362ad • Location • Deserts of upper Egypt (3rd exile) • Language • Greek

  3. Athanasius • [textual tradition/edition] • The Greek text, preserved in many mss, is one of several versions; two Latin versions, a Coptic, an Armenian, a Georgian and an Old Slavonic version exist from the Greek text. A distinct Syriac version exists, without sermons, but with a lot of other holy commentary. Arabic and Ethiopic versions exist too. The state of textual scholarship on the work is thus far inconclusive.

  4. Athanasius • Major literary concerns: • Epistolary • Hagiography • Biography • Encomium • Christian orthodoxy in the patristic age

  5. Athanasius • Intertextuality / intratextuality • Literary and colloquial language • The self-referential power of the word • Aesthetics • Culture
