Athanasius Of Alexandria
The Life of Antony, The Coptic Life and The Greek Life

A Letter to the Disciples of Antony by Serapion of Thmuis

J. M. Bartelink) and in the Coptic, the language Antony himself spoke. Two short contemporary coptic texts further manifest the powerful influence of ‘the father of monks.’
