1 1. The book Otkrovennye rasskazy strannika dukhovnomu ottsu svoemu was written by an unknown author. The narratives were copied on Mount Athos by Hegumen Paisii, abbot of the Cheremiss monastery of the Kazan Diocese and published under the aegis of that monastery. A fourth edition was published in Moscow in 1884. The narratives were twice reprinted abroad by YMCA Press in Paris and it may have been this edition that Bibikhin used. References in the present volume are to The Way of a Pilgrim and The Pilgrim Continues His Way, tr. Reginald M. French, 2nd edition (London: SPCK Classics, 1954, reissued 2012). This was first published in the UK in 1931. [Russian editors, Tr.]
