Life of St. Gregory Sinait

The name of the Monk Grigory Sinait (1346), along with the Monk Nikifor by the Oddmnnik (1280) and St. Feolipt of Philadelphia (1326) as the predecessors of St. Grigory Palamas (1359) - the universal defender of the priests, is inherent to the spread in the XIV century in the Byzantium and especially in the Byzantium and especially In the Slavic countries of that spiritual direction of eastern monasticism, which later received the name "Isihamma". The full life of the Monk Grigory Sinait, compiled by his closest student, the St. Callist, Patriarch of Constantinople (1364), in the middle of the XIV century, first published in the Russian translation in 1904, is a certain apology of silence in itself. The notes and applications placed by the editors serve only a small explanation of some ascetic-historical moments of the Life of the Great Teacher and the Apostle of the Silence of the XIV century.
