Chapter XXI.—Of Anthony the Monk.
What sort of a man the monk
Anthony was, who lived in the same age, in the Egyptian desert, and how
he openly contended with devils, clearly detecting their devices and
wily modes of warfare, and how he performed many miracles, it would be
superfluous for us to say; for Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, has
anticipated us, having devoted an entire book to his biography.227227
Athanasius’ Life of Anthony is included
in the editions of his works, such as the Benedictine (1698), that of
Padua (1777). On Anthony, see also Soz. I. 3; II. 31, 34.
Of such good men there was a large number at one time during the years
of the Emperor Constantine.
