Asceticism and scholarship in the skete of Kafsokalyvia during the 18th century

• Πατάπιος, Καυσοκαλυβίτης Μοναχός

By means of thoroughly analyzing and extensively quoting from the religious and literary works of several representatives from the skete of Kafsokalyvia during the 18th century, the author outlines the spiritual background and the theological controversies of that time. Issues such as the debate about the frequent communion or the memorial services for the deceased played a crucial part in the development of Orthodox spirituality, whilst the poetic, mainly hymnographic production of that time testifies to the vivacity and intensity of literary life in the Orthodox monastic communities.
