It is a work aimed at immersing the novice monk in the spiritual lore of the monastic vocation, and saturating his mind and spirit with advice and warnings about the pitfalls of aiming to be perfect while remaining nevertheless an imperfect human being. This is a critical edition and translation of the Compendious Commentary in Garshuni that uses all available manuscripts UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463236861 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463236861 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463236861/original ER -
