Patristic & Ascetical Texts
Dobrotolubiye (Slavonic Philokalia)
The Slavonic translation of the Philokalia by St. Paisius Velichkovsky (published 1793). Sparked a massive spiritual renewal in the Russian-speaking world. Led to the revival of the Jesus Prayer and spiritual eldership (startchestvo) in Russian monasticism. The Way of a Pilgrim references it extensively.
