For my parents

Acknowledgements

This book began its life as an Oxford D.Phil. thesis. I am very grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding my doctorate. I finished the book while working as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, still in Oxford, and would like to thank the British Academy for their support of my research. The book is therefore a product of the rich and stimulating environment of the History Faculty in Oxford. I am grateful to all the students and tutors in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies with whom I have discussed Byzantine religion over the years, and to David Taylor for inspiring tuition in Syriac. I cannot imagine a better place to have worked on this project. Of many debts, two stand out. I was first introduced to Byzantine history as an undergraduate student by the late Mark Whittow. Mark was a wonderfully engaging and kind tutor, and remained a source of support, wisdom, and good humour long after my student days. Like so many others, I miss him greatly. I am also very indebted to my supervisor, Phil Booth. Phil has been unfailingly generous and supportive to me, and his advice has greatly improved my work. Among many kindnesses, he took the time to teach me the basics of Coptic.

I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me in the process of converting my thesis into a monograph. My doctoral examiners, Averil Cameron and Vincent Droche, gave me very helpful suggestions and constructive criticism; I greatly appreciate their support. After finishing my doctorate, I began working on the Stories of Survival project in Oxford led by John-Paul Ghobrial. John-Paul has been a wonderful mentor and friend, and I have learned a great deal from him. I would also like to thank Elizabeth Jeffreys, who was very encouraging when I first considered publishing this book with Oxford Studies in Byzantium. I am very grateful to Charlotte Loveridge and Cathryn Steele, my editors, and to all the team at Oxford University Press for all their help throughout the process of publication.

I owe a great deal to the support of my friends and family. I cannot name them all here, but would especially like to thank Otone, my house mate throughout most of the time I worked on this project, for her unfailing friendship, support, and enthusiasm about stylites. It has been a joy to talk about history, religion, and the ancient world with Anastasia, Rosie, and Laura. My husband, Paul, has been a constant source of encouragement. We first met each other a few months before I finished my doctorate. Several years later, we were in Scotland on our honeymoon when I found out that my book had been accepted by OUP! I am so grateful for the love and happiness that he has brought into my life.

My greatest debt is to my parents, Jo and Robert, for the support of all kinds which they have given me over the years. I could not have written this book without them, and I dedicate it to them with love and gratitude.

Contents

Any author of a book treating an area which used a range of languages faces difficult decisions in terms of transliteration conventions. I have tried to follow some clear principles, but, like the scribes of Syriac manuscripts, I beg the reader to forgive any mistakes. For names which have common English equivalents, I have used these (thus John not Ioannes/Yuanon, George not Georgios/Giwargis, Cyril not Kyrillos). When a name does not have a widely used English equivalent, I typically use a simplified Greek transliteration (Amantios, Dorotheos, Evagrios Scholastikos). I do, however, use a Latinized transliteration for authors who wrote in Latin (Marcellinus comes), for emperors (Tiberius and Heraclius), and for martyrs whose names are paired with common English names (thus Cosmas and Damian, not Kosmas and Damianos). For place names, I typically use the commonly known English version. For places with both Syriac/Arabic and Greek names, I use the name most widely used in scholarly literature. For obscure place names mentioned in hagiographies, I use a simplified transliteration from Greek.
