      A NOTE FROM THE

      PUBLISHER

      As publisher of Alexander Press it gives me great joy to continue the Mount Athos Series with the pub lication of Archimandrite Vasileios’s Abba Isaac the Syrian : an Approach to His World , Archimandrite Vasileios (Gondikakis), former Abbot of Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos, was born on Crete in 1936, and studied theology in Athens and in Lyon, France. Upon visiting Mount Athos, he felt at home, and decided to remain there. Initially, he stayed in a hermitage close the Elder Paisios. In 1968, he was asked to become abbot of the Stavronikita Monastery. In his twenty-two years, 1968–1990, as abbot, a life-giving breeze of renewal and a particular intensity of stillness and watchfulness (hesychia and nepsis), that characterises Athonite spirituality, has been treasured by thousands of visitors and pilgrims who, through their personal experience, in a very simple and humble way, taste and see that the Lord is good.

      In 1990, Fr Vasileios assumed the leadership of the Iveron Monastery, becoming its abbot and reintroducing its cenobitic life. He stepped down as abbot in 2005.

      Fr Vasileios was first introduced to the English-public Well-known in the English- speaking public through his Hymn of Entry (St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press, 1984), in which Fr. Vasileios is described by Bishop Kallistos (Ware), as the pioneer of the striking revival and renewal of monastic life on the Holy Mountain, whose message was a word of life not for Athos only but for the Christian world as a whole.

      The fifth text in Alexander Press’s Mount Athos series, Abba Isaac the Syrian : an Approach to His World was first published in Greek by Domos in 1981, and in subsequent editions in 1985 and 1988.
