Gnomic Anthology

Dense, aphoristic texts designed for memorization and slow meditation rather than continuous reading. Ilias (also known as Elias) writes in a compressed, gnomicstyle where each sentence carries concentrated meaning. The anthology covers the full range of the spiritual life but in a form intended to be carried in the memory and pondered throughout the day. Best read one or two texts at a time, returning to each repeatedly until its meaning unfolds.
