      abstract = {In this finely written study of demonology and Christian  spirituality in fourth- and fifth-century Egypt, David  Brakke examines how the conception of the monk as a holy  and virtuous being was shaped by the combative encounter  with demons. Drawing on biographies of exceptional monks,  collections of monastic sayings and stories, letters from  ascetic teachers to their disciples, sermons, and community  rules, Brakke crafts a compelling picture of the embattled  religious celibate.},
