Fine copy of this rare and richly illustrated edition. “The holy fathers, of whom are told the
astounding legends which fill this book, are the Monks of the Thebaid, the founder of whose
community, if such it may be called, was Saint Anthony, who at a very early age had isolated him-
self in the desert near the Egyptian Thebes, and devoted himself to a life of extreme austerity. His
reputation for sanctity attracted to him at first a few, and eventually a great number of followers,
whom he housed in the monastery of Phanium; as their numbers increased, the desert of the Thebaid
was dotted over with the habitations of the ascetics. At the time of Saint Anthony’s death, no less
than fifteen thousand persons were living in the Thebaid... The fantastic imagination of the author,
himself for long years a dweller in the wilderness has found fullplay in this work, and its absurd
narrations seem to have found no less favour with the credulous readers of the fifteenth century than
with the early converts for whom it was written.”
