monk, was See also:born in See also:Egypt about 250. At the See also:age of twenty he began to practise an ascetical See also:life in the neighbourhood of his native See also:place, and after fifteen years of this life he withdrew into solitude to a See also:mountain by the See also:Nile, called Pispir, now Der el Memun, opposite See also:Arsinoe in the See also:Fayum. Here he lived strictly enclosed in an old fort for twenty years. At last in the See also:early years of the 4th See also:century he emerged from his See also:retreat and set himself to organize the monastic life of the crowds of monks who had followed him and taken up their See also:abode in the caves around him. After a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time, again in pursuit of more See also:complete solitude, he withdrew to the mountain by the Red See also:Sea, where now stands the monastery that bears his name (Der See also:Mar Antonios). Here he died about the See also:middle of the 4th century. His Life states that on two occasions he went to See also:Alexandria, to strengthen the Christians in the See also:Diocletian persecution and to preach against Arianism. Anthony is recognized as the first Christian monk and the first organizer and See also:father of Christian monachism (seeMoNAST1e1sM). Certain letters and sermons are attributed to him, but their authenticity is more than doubtful. The monastic See also:rule which bears his name was not written by him, but was compiled out of these writings
and out of discourses and utterances put into his mouth in the Life and the Apophthegmata Patrum. According to this rule live a number of Coptic Syrian and Armenian monks to this See also:day. The See also:chief source of See also:information about St Anthony is the Life, attributed to St See also:Athanasius. This attribution, as also the See also:historical See also:character of the See also:book, and even the very existence of St Anthony, were questioned and denied by the sceptical See also:criticism of See also:thirty years ago; but such doubts are no longer entertained by See also:critical scholars.
The See also:Greek Vita is among the See also:works of St Athanasius; the almost contemporary Latin See also:translation is among Rosweyd's Vitae Patrum (See also:Migne, See also:Patrol. See also:Lat. lxxiii.) ; an See also:English translation is in the Athanasius See also:volume of the " Nicene and See also:Post-Nicene Library." Accounts of St Anthony are given by Card.
