Evagrius wrote in Greek, but after his posthumous condemnation in 551, many of his writings, including this letter, survive only in Syriac translation. The first complete edition of the text, which is based on all known Syriac copies, is presented here alongside a new translation, a Syriac-English glossary, and commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43152133587062,"sku":"NV603595n0nn1nWWW","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/8404\/files\/NV603595.jpg?v=1772803353","url":"https:\/\/en.novalis.ca\/products\/letter-to-melania","provider":"en-novalis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
