Evagrius of Pontus was a highly influential writer in the Eastern Christian tradition, particularly with respect to the development of monastic thought and practice. The importance of his works is evidenced by their frequent use in the Greek monastic tradition and their translation and subsequent influence in other languages such as Syriac, Armenian and Ethiopic. His work “concerning the eight [sinful] thoughts” was translated in into Ethiopic and was highly influential not only in the Ethiopic tradition, but later in the Arabic tradition as well because it was translated into Arabic from Ethiopic. Johannes Bachmann published editions of the Ethiopic text of the “eight thoughts” as found in two Ethiopic manuscripts. However, the text could also be found in a number of other manuscripts that contained variant readings. Thus, Otto Spies publishes here a critical apparatus with variant readings to accompany the base text published by Bachmann. Spies also publishes here a German translation of the “eight thoughts” based on his collated edition of the text and supplements the translation with critical notes explaining lexical and translational decisions.
