ANTHONY (c. 251–356 AD). Egyptian saint and hermit. He was the
son of Christians from the village of Qiman, and upon their death, he
gave away his worldly possessions and lived the life of an ascetic
hermit near the village and later in the eastern desert. Anthony inspired
other hermits to live near him for a time, forming the first ascetic
community, although he himself moved to the desert to be on
his own. Several of his letters survive, and his life, written by
Athanasius, spread the idea of ascetic life in the Christian world. Pachomius,
another ascetic, was to change the solitary existence of the
hermit into that of a monastic community. See also ABRAHAM;
COPTIC CHURCH; SHENOUTE.
