“…These are some of the highest profile translation projects in the last decades, but given the variety of sources needed to understand Byzantine monastic administration, every newly published text helps to make the field more accessible to modern scholars. A case in point is an early 12th‐century psalter recently published by Jeffrey Anderson and Stefano Parenti (), a manuscript used (and likely compiled) in a Constantinopolitan monastery. While the original text admittedly lacks many social and institutional details, Anderson translates liturgical observances for different monastic hours and offices, while Stefano provides detailed textual analysis that ties the manuscript and the monastery where it was produced to both the monasteries of Theotokos Evergetis and Stoudios.…”

While monks were integral parts of the long‐lasting Byzantine world, Byzantine monasticism and its study can be relatively obscure to nonspecialists, given the diversity of monastic forms practiced in the empire. This piece presents a brief primer on Byzantine monastic studies and evaluates key scholarship in this increasingly vigorous field. In particular, it assesses the major impact of critical editions and primary‐source translation projects since the 1990s and 2000s, including both archival materials and hagiography. Furthermore, it evaluates the current state of the field and outlines several opportunities and directions for further research.
