| description | The Historia Monachorum in Aegypto (HMA) is one of the most important hagiographic sources of late fourth-century Egyptian monasticism, which through its various translations exercised a notable influence on both Western and Eastern monastic and hagiographical traditions. Dated to 395, the HMA, is a travelogue of seven monks departing from a monastery in Jerusalem to visit the famous ascetics of Egypt. The narrative catches up with them from the town of Assiut in the South, and ends in Lower Egypt, reporting a number of interesting anecdotes about the hermits that they called on, and recording the edifying sayings and miracles of the various fathers visited. |
