This book studies his numerous Coptic writings and finds them to be the most important literary source for the study of society, economy and religion in late antique Egypt. The issues and concerns Shenoute grappled with on a daily basis, Ariel Lopez argues, were not local problems, unique to one small corner of the ancient world. Rather, they are crucial to interpreting late antiquity as a historical period-rural patronage, religious intolerance, the Christian care of the poor and the local impact of the late Roman state. His little known writings provide us not only with a rare opportunity to see the life of a holy man as he himself saw it, but also with a privileged window into his world. Lopez brings Shenoute to prominence as witness of and participant in the major transformations of his time. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aCoptic monasticism and religious orders$xHistory 606 $aRomans$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y30 B.C.-640 A.D 607 $aEgypt$xEconomic conditions$y332 B.C.-640 A.D 610 $a5th century egypt. 610 $aalexandria. 610 $aancient history. 610 $aancient world. 610 $aantiquities. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $aascetics. 610 $acare of the poor. 610 $achristian charity. 610 $achristianity. 610 $acoptic writings. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aegypt. 610 $aengaging. 610 $ahistorical period. 610 $ahistory of christianity. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aholy man. 610 $alate antiquity. 610 $aliterary source. 610 $aloquacious preacher. 610 $amonks. 610 $apagans. 610 $apoor. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious intolerance. 610 $areligious. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $aroman state. 610 $arural patronage. 610 $asociety. 610 $aspiritual. 610 $astern abbot. 610 $astories of faith. 615 0$aCoptic monasticism and religious orders$xHistory. 615 0$aRomans 676 $a271.0092 700 $aLo?pez$b Ariel G.$f1977-$01548559 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785707903321 996 $aShenoute of Atripe and the uses of poverty$93805668 997 $aUNINA
