Various Texts on Theology, the Divine Economy, and Virtue and Vice

A massive collection in the Maximian tradition

Maximos the Confessor Volume 2 Secondary

A large collection of texts attributed to Maximos, though only partially by Maximos himself. The scope ranges across theology, the divine economy of salvation, and the practical life of virtue and vice. The mixed authorship means the quality and difficulty vary considerably across the collection. Best approached selectively rather than read straight through — use the Four Hundred Texts on Love as a guide to Maximos's characteristic voice and concerns, then use this collection to go deeper on specific questions.
