Abstract
The contribution focused on the best known and most extensive collection of edifying stories, The Spiritual Meadow by John Moschus (early 7th cent.), and discussed the approach to books and letters taken in this work, mainly the following three groups of motifs: a book as a commodity; a book as an attribute of a holy man; a book (the written word) as a transcendental medium.
