Monks and Monasteries of the Egyptian Desert by Otto Meinardus
In the fourth century A.D. the deserts of Egypt saw the birth of Christian monasticism under the tutelage of the desert fathers. Since then the movement has spread around the world. This standard work traces the historical development of all the currently inhabited Coptic monasteries, drawing on a wide variety of sources, including accounts by early Western travelers.
Otto F. A. Meinardus lived in Egypt for many years as a professor of philosophy at the American University in Cairo and pastor of the Maadi Community Church. He is the author of The Holy Family in Egypt (AUC Press, 1986), Christian Egypt, Faith and Life, and Christian Egypt, Ancient and Modern.
