This book gives a context for a reading of the Life of Saint Neilos, a Southern Italian tenth-century monastic from Calabria, founder of the monastery of Grottaferrata near Rome. His background is delineated against a multi-ethnic and idiosyncratic region where Greek and Latin cultures meet, with a significant presence of Arabs and Jews.
