Desert Fathers
The Collectio Monastica ("Monastic Collection") is an Ethiopic book that includes some original sayings of the Desert Fathers and which is textually independent of the better-known "Apophthegmata Patrum" ("Sayings of the Desert Fathers"). It was first published by Victor Arras in 1963, based on two separate manuscripts that were likely based on Greek language or Coptic sources.
