The winner of this year’s Kayden Book Award is Andy Cain, for his book, The Greek Historia Monachorum in Aegypto: Monastic Hagiography in the Late Fourth Century (Oxford UP, 2016). The book revisits one of the foundational texts on fourth-century monasticism in Egypt. The committee cited the clarity of the work’s presentation and the depth of the analysis it offered, along with the manner in which it allows the reader to move from close readings of the text to a ’stroll’ through the events that accompanied the seven monks from Jerusalem to Egypt, as grounds for its selection.

Many congratulations to Andy Cain!

Provost's Faculty Achievement Award to Professor Cain Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 10/19/2015 - 14:38

Professor Andy Cain has been granted the Provost's Faculty Achievement Award!

Beautifully framed, and with embossed gold decoration on the certificate! This is a very prestigious award granted by our Provost to a select few faculty each year to recognize outstanding contributions to research. Professor Cain won it for his extraordinary 2013 book with Oxford, "Jerome's Epitaph on Paula: A Commentary on the Epitaphium Sanctae Paulae". Critics have described this book, which includes a critical edition of the Latin text, a facing English translation, and an extensive commentary (drawing on ancient sources in Latin, Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew as well as modern sources in a similarly broad array of languages) as a "monumental achievement," "breathtaking" and "fascinating," one of "vast erudition" that secures Professor Cain's position as "the preeminent scholar on Jerome."

Now Available at Norlin Library!
