Monasteries, in the East
View through CrossRef
AbstractEremitism (or anchoritism) and cenobitism are the two main monastic lifestyles; both appeared in the fourth centuryCE. Eremitism is most associated with Antony the Great (ca. 251–356); it is an individual form of monasticism: the hermit lives alone or with a disciple in an isolated cell. The monks of such a monastery meet only once a week, during the weekend, for a common meal and the Mass. In cenobitic monasticism, whose central figure is Pachomius (ca. 292–346), the life of the monks is communal: they live together every day, under the strict direction and supervision of the superior of the community. These two kinds of monasticism are not, however, mutually exclusive: hermits could be members of cenobitic monasteries, and there was a spectrum of lifestyles between the fully solitary and the strictly communal. Nevertheless, differences can be seen betweenlaurae(semi‐anchoritic monasteries) andcoenobia(in cenobitic monasticism).
