Shenoute of Atripe and the Uses of Poverty

Rural Patronage

Ariel G. Lopez

Ariel G. Lopez is Professor at Rhodes College.

and Monasticism in Late Antique Egypt

Lopez provides a new and exciting profile of Shenoute of Atripe that analyzes the abbot's career and contextualizes it within the social history of the late antique East. Perhaps the book's most important contribution is its proper (and overdue) restoration of Shenoute, one of the best-documented rural patrons of late antiquity, to the broader conversation about poverty, patronage, and shifting centers of power that has reshaped our understanding of the later Roman Empire. This book has much to offer both scholars interested in Shenoute and those working on the wider empire to which he belonged.

—Edward J. Watts, author of Riot in Alexandria
