Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.65 Mb
Overview: This is to present and discuss a text found in the “fabled” volume 5 of the Philokalia* titled: On the Union with God, and the Life of Theoria [sometimes translated as: contemplative life].
It’s a text that to my knowledge had not been fully translated into English until now*.
For this present translation I used the Greek text from volume 2 of the 1893 edition, the 2nd Greek edition, of the Philokalia. I also consulted sometimes the modern Greek text from volume 5 of the 1st edition of the modern Greek edition of the Philokalia (1986.) I translated the Greek text, and I present it here in English, the way I translate it to myself when reading and studying it.
Currently the translation is still in a polished draft form. Yet I feel it’s polished enough for a v0.99 initial publishing.
