Coptic Study Library XX. A large number of monastic establishments were established in the early Christian Near East from the 4th century. While some have disappeared but are documented by literary texts, others, sometimes less well-known from this tradition, have left archaeological traces that have allowed them to be studied. This work describes these early Christian settlements using literary and documentary texts as well as archaeological studies. Thus, it addresses the lauras and monasteries of the Judean Desert, the ascetic settlements of the Kellia and those of the Theban region, the Pachomian foundations and the monastery of Saint Jeremiah at Saqqara.
