Philotheus of Sinai was a Christian monk and writer who lived in Egypt. He lived sometime before 1100 – most likely during the 9th century, or possibly the 10th century. Very little is known about his life.[1]
Philotheus of Sinai followed the Sinaitic ascetic tradition of John Climacus.[1] His writings are similar to those of Hesychius of Sinai.[2] These three monks of Sinai (namely John Climacus, Hesychius of Sinai, and Philotheus of Sinai) are often considered to form a single Sinaitic literary and religious tradition.[3]
