"Our Father Isaac": Reading the Sahidic Testament of Isaac in an Egyptian Monastic Context

This dissertation argues that the textual community of fourth or fifth century monastic Egypt read Testament of Isaac as an ascetical regimen in order to transform themselves into children of Isaac. T. Isaac highlights three particular dimensions of Isaac's character from the remembered tradition of Isaac that would have resonated in the Egyptian monastic context of the textual community - Isaac as priestly authority, Isaac as sacrifice, and Isaac as blind ascetic - to create a model for the new self that the textual community aimed to achieve. Two important ascetic practices in T. Isaac that the textual community was to perform were copying and reading T. Isaac. These two practices functioned as technologies of the self that helped the members of the textual community to transform their present subjectivity into a new self modeled on Isaac in T. Isaac.

El artículo describe y analiza tres acuarelas del arquitecto valenciano Manuel Cortina (1868-1950) tituladas Iglesia Parroquial, Casa de Recreo en una posesión de caza y Fuente Monumental. Anota, como antecedentes-consecuentes respectivos, los dibujos de E. E. Viollet-le-Duc, C. N. Ledoux y O. Wagner.
