What it is
Writings of a solitary in the mountains of northern Iraq on the vision of the divine light and the wonder that overtakes the mind in prayer.
Why it lasted
Condemned by his own church and treasured by others, he was read in Greek translation as though he were an Orthodox father.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
