The Maronite Hermits: From The Fourth To The Twentieth Century is an attractive introduction to the Syriac Lebanese tradition of Christian eremiticism. The page is from the Web version of the Maronite Research Institute’s Journal of Maronite Studies, October, 1999, and includes brief summaries of St. Maron, the first male and female Maronite hermits, quotations from original sources, some geographical context, consideration of the hermits under monastic rule, and several photographs.
