the Harvard University James C. Skedros and professor of Durham University

Philokalia [Greek Θιλοκαλία], which has received the widest distribution in the Orthodox world, is an anthology of patristic writings (from the 4th to the 15th centuries), mainly dedicated to the prayer-contemplative experience of monastic life.
Most of the writings included in the Philokalia in Greek, were in
circulation on the Mount Athos already in the heyday of Hesychasm in the XIVth
century. In its final form, Philokalia was prepared for publication by St.
Macarius Notara, former Metropolitan of Corinth, and St. Nicodemus of the Holy
Mountain. The book includes carefully edited and systematized rich materials
collected by them in the Holy Mountain’ manuscripts repositories. To the
present time, Philokalia remains a fundamental "encyclopedia" of
spiritual life.Philokalia [Greek Θιλοκαλία], which has received the widest distribution in the Orthodox world, is an anthology of patristic writings (from the 4th to the 15th centuries), mainly dedicated to the prayer-contemplative experience of monastic life.
