Evagrius Ponticus

Evagrius Ponticus
(346–99)
   Devotional Writer.
   Evagrius was ordained by Gregory of nazianzus and, after 382, he lived as a hermit in the Egyptian desert. His writings survive only in Latin and Syrian translations and include a treatise on the spiritual life of a monk, another on evil thoughts and a collection of sayings. Although he was criticised by St Jerome for Origenism, he was highly influential on John Cassian, Pseudodionysius, Maximus the Confessor and Palladius.
