Reviews

'For the student of Athos in particular and of Eastern Christian spirituality and monasticism more generally, this book is a most welcome addition to a large and growing bibliography.' Religious Studies Review, Vol. 24, No. 3 'the articles by Ware, Morris, and Krausmuller will prove to be crucial to our proper understanding of the early history of Mount Athos, and those by Oikonomides, Zachariadou, Allison, and Candea will prove equally important for the late and post-Byzantine periods.' Speculum
