Revived in the sixteenth century the anchoretic life flourished in ruthenian lands - present-day Ukraine and Belarus - until the social utility of worship and prayer was brought into question by Enlightenment monarchs. Even then it provided a link in the living tradition which saw further revival in the Ukranian and Russian startzi of the nineteenth century. Size: 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall.
