“As my work progressed on Four Desert Fathers, I saw that three other Coptic texts relating to Saint Macarius the Great also deserved to be translated into English and should form a separate volume: as supplements to the Coptic Palladiana, but also as important documents in their own right. These three texts are The Sayings of Saint Macarius, The Virtues of Saint Macarius[...], and The Life of Saint Macarius of Scetis. Translations of these three texts thus appear as this volume, Saint Macarius the Spiritbearer, which has its own Introduction.”
