JOHN of
APAMEA
(flourished early 5th cent.), Syriac
spiritual writer, also known as JOHN
the SOLITARY.
His writings include a ‘Dialogue on the Soul’ and a number of letters and
tractates, including ‘On
Prayer and Silence’.
There is some uncertainty about his identity and date; some of his works have
been wrongly attributed to John of Lycopolis (d. 394).
