Philotheos Historia

Philotheos Historia

( Φιλόθεος Ἱστορία , Godloving History), the name given by Theodoret, the wellknown commentator, bishop of Cyrus, to his lives of thirty ascetics or Eastern monks. "Their virtues," he confesses, " cannot be adequately described," and he relates the most astounding prodigies of them. The tract is in the third folio of Sirmond's edition of his works. (See Philotheia)
