Summary:
The text of the anonymous Latin translation of the Life of Antony by Athanasius of Alexandria (E00631) is known from a single manuscript dated to c. 950-1050, discovered in 1914 in the archives of the Chapter of St Peter in Rome. It is very literal and of low literary quality. It probably had a very limited distribution, since it could not compete with a much more elegant translation of the same text, made shortly afterwards by Evagrius of Antioch ($E00930). It is widely assumed, and we would agree, that this translation was made before that of Evagrius.
