Uses a range of sources, from Philo, Clement and Origen to Athanasius, Evagrius and early monks, to explore the development in first- to sixth-century Egypt of new ideas about the relationship between dreams, the divine and virtue.

Pope Leo I's theological and political influence (440-461) extended well beyond his own see of Rome to the Christian East through his contribution to preparations for the Council of Chalcedon and its outcome.
