Editor
Description
Digital-only, peer-reviewed reference work about the fourth-century monastic theologian Evagrius Ponticus (ca. 345-399). Updated annually, it provides definitive, integrated lists of Evagrius's works, of editions and translations of those works, and of studies related to his life and thought. The Guide also includes a sourcebook of key ancient testimonies to Evagrius and his reception, in English translation, as well as a checklist of images from the ancient world.
The Guide takes relatively new approaches to open-access academic publishing in the digital humanities, and so is anticipated to develop over the coming years. Future editions will include a manuscript checklist, images of manuscripts, transcriptions of those manuscripts, and open-source critical editions of Evagrius's writings.
The 2025 edition of the GEP introduced comprehensive lemmatized word concordances in Greek and English, presented as keyword in context (KWIC) indexes.
Master files are built upon the Text Alignment Network-style Text Encoding Initiative XML. Particularly of note is the Corpus of Texts, which is populated by class 2 and class 3 files in concert with a Zotero database.
