Mary Wortley Montagu

    15 mei 1689 – 21 augustus 1762

    Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, een Engelse aristocrate en schrijfster, wordt tegenwoordig vooral herinnerd vanwege haar inzichtelijke brieven. Haar correspondentie, met name haar levendige verslagen uit Turkije, geldt als een baanbrekend seculier werk van een vrouw dat de moslim-Oosterse wereld verkent. Door haar scherpe observaties en geestige proza biedt Montagu lezers een uniek en genuanceerd perspectief op een cultuur die destijds grotendeels onbekend was voor de westerse wereld, en onthult ze een scherp intellect en een onafhankelijke geest.

      When Christians first began living as monks in the Egyptian desert at the beginning of the fourth century, they had few books and almost no learning. As they gained experience, they concentrated that experience in the form of an oral tradition of tales and sayings (apophthegmata). Apart from the Scriptures (also learned by heart) this was the only training manual they had. Consequently, when the onslaught of barbarians drove many monks out of Egypt early in the following century, they found it better to preserve their oral tradition in writing.
