Shenoute of Atripe and the Uses of Poverty: Rural Patronage, Religious Conflict, and Monasticism in Late Antique Egypt (Volume 50) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Shenoute of Atripe: stern abbot, loquacious preacher, patron of the poor and scourge of pagans in fifth-century Egypt. This book studies his numerous Coptic writings and finds them to be the most important literary source for the study of society, economy and religion in late antique Egypt. The issues and concerns Shenoute grappled with on a daily basis, Ariel Lopez argues, were not local problems, unique to one small corner of the ancient world. Rather, they are crucial to interpreting late antiquity as a historical period―rural patronage, religious intolerance, the Christian care of the poor and the local impact of the late Roman state. His little known writings provide us not only with a rare opportunity to see the life of a holy man as he himself saw it, but also with a privileged window into his world. Lopez brings Shenoute to prominence as witness of and participant in the major transformations of his time.

From the Inside Flap
Lopez provides a new and exciting profile of Shenoute of Atripe that analyzes the abbot's career and contextualizes it within the social history of the late antique East. Perhaps the book's most important contribution is its proper (and overdue) restoration of Shenoute, one of the best-documented rural patrons of late antiquity, to the broader conversation about poverty, patronage, and shifting centers of power that has reshaped our understanding of the later Roman Empire. This book has much to offer both scholars interested in Shenoute and those working on the wider empire to which he belonged.
―Edward J. Watts, author of Riot in Alexandria
