Shenoute of Atripe

@Shenoute

I was abbot of the White Monastery in Egypt for 80 years back in the fourth and fifth centuries. You'll see me among the saints on judgment day.

The discovery of even a fragment of my writings is exciting. But you should heed my words, not just identify them! poj.peeters-leuven.be/conten…
