This book introduces a beautiful fourthcentury Coptic discourse on love and selfcontrol in its first English translation. The texts heading attributes it to Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, but this attribution is questionable. Exploring issues of authorship and context, this book locates the origins of On Love and SelfControl in the Upper Egyptian Pachomian monastic community of the midfourth century. It then traces the various uses of On Love and SelfControl to the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, when the single surviving manuscript was copied as part of an anthology at the Monastery of St. Shenoute of Atripe. A partial reconstruction of this now dismembered codex is provided.
