Praktikos and On the Thoughts, and a detailed discussion of the parts of the Kephalaia Gnostica that pertain to Evagrius' doctrines of asceticsm and contemplation. In his commentary he integrates material from the Gnostic and the Skemmata, quoting them often . The third volume, Hesychian Sobriety , comprises a new translation of a text of St Hesychios, On Sobriety, taken from the first volume of the Philokalia , and a very detailed commentary on that text. This commentary draws extensively on the texts of Evagrius that were discussed in Volume II. This volume ends with an epilogue which summarizes the three-volume work as a whole. All three volumes contain complete bibliographies. For those who find this work interesting, or who have a more general interest in Evagrius Pontikos, Fr Theophanes has also recently translated To the Caesareans, apologia concerning his departure . This is an independent publication which is not part of the Psychological Basis of Mental Prayer in the Heart. To the Caesareans... is a letter that in the Greek manuscript tradition has historically been ascribed to St Basil the Great. It is now ascribed to Evagrius Pontikos. The letter is considered important in the study of the issue of Evagrius' orthodoxy. Fr Theophanes' edition comprises an introduction that discusses philological and theological issues; the text of the letter in a new English translation from the Greek edition of Courtonne; and footnotes that continue the discussion. That work can be found here . About the Publisher About the Author
