Ebook: The Life of Paulus the First Hermit

A decent translation of Saint Hieronymous' tale of the first Christian Hermit, as told by the illustrious Saint Anthony the Coenobite.

There is a tradition about Anthony, preserved in Athanasius about him. Once, when he had to come to Alexandria for legal reasons, people asked him about how he felt being around such worldly people as surrounded him. He is supposed to have replied, "They're no worse than the devils I deal with on the desert."
