The notes are exemplary in their attention to historical details and patristic and scriptural citations, without being too profuse or scholarly. This volume represents an indispensable addition to the library of every Byzantinist, theologian and general reader. As the first volume of a series of English translations of Byzantine saints' lives, it stands on its own merits, while offering a glimpse of treasures to come.
