Macrina of Annesi and the Emergence of Monasticism in Central Anatolia

该项目建立在对巴西尔大帝的“大Asketikon”的广泛研究基础上，这是安纳托利亚（现代土耳其）修道主义的主要文献。通过实地搜索Annesi （Basil的妹妹Macrina的家）的位置，对与Macrina有关的所有资料的新整理以及Macrina的传记作者Gregory of Nyssa的新信件集，它旨在呈现一种修订后的关于当地修道主义出现的观点。两本书，如果不是三本的话：一本历史专著，《马丽娜之书》和《尼萨的格列高利书信》。

This project builds on extensive research into the 'Great Asketikon' of Basil the Great, the primary document of monasticism in Anatolia (modern Turkey). By using on-the-ground search for the location of Annesi (the family home of Macrina, Basil's sister), a new collation of all the sources relating to Macrina and a new collection of the letters of Gregory of Nyssa, Macrina's biographer, it aims to present a revised view of the emergence of this local monasticism. Two books, if not three will result: an historical monograph, 'The Book of Macrina' and 'The Letters of Gregory of Nyssa'.
