The book is adorned with some most useful appendices and contains an exciting and persuasive account, based on first-hand reconnaissance, of the chief geographical loci. The resulting map is excellent. Marcus Plested, Journal of Theological Studies 'This volume will represent a landmark in Basilian studies.' The Downside Review This work should be found in all monasteries and noviciates and it would be of interest to all who are interested in monasticism. Pluscarden Benedictines
