In this article we have compared the motivations of the anachorese and hesychia in John Chrysostom’s writing Adversus oppugnatores vitae monasticae and in Nilus of Ancyra writing De monachorum praestantia. We perceive there a common spirit in their thinking about the monastic life. The authors refer similarly to the contemporary reflection about the human nature, which leads them both to value the isolated life over the life in the world. It echoes the ideal of impassibility, inflexibility, careless and the another components of the stoic ethos. Several Nilus’ reflections manifest a clear similarity to the Chrysostom’s ideas. Nilus of Ancyra defends the same kind of monasticism as Chrysostom against its opponents. In his argumentation he chooses the similar direction as Chrysostom, however, he is independent in the details of his reasoning. Surely, as the Chrysostom’s pupil, he read and knew Adversus oppugnatores vitae monasticae. In spite of this, he has created his own and original work, inspired only generally by the earlier Chrysostom’s opuscule.

We encounter in the Nil of Ancyra’s writing De monastica exercitatione at least a dozen instances of the allegorical interpretation of certain places in the Old Testament, where Nil of Ancyra’s exegesis seems to refer to the Philo of Alexandria’s interpretation. In a few places there are significant differences in interpretation, but Nil decisively continues or repeats exegetical ideas of Philo. In two cases, in a longer allegory about Joseph who seeks his brothers and about the ritual washing of the sacrificial calf (De monastica exercitatione 44-45 and 56), the dependence on Philo becomes verbal. The borrowings come most often from Legum allegoriarum libri, which seem to be especially close to Nil. However, the traces of Philo’s exegesis from other writings of the Alexandrian seem to show a wider knowledge of his works by the monk of Ancyra. There is a probability of indirect borrowing and indirect knowledge of Philo’s exegesis by Nil, by other authors, but we find no evidence of such medium. However, for example, Origen’s relationship with Philo in the exegesis of the concerned places is quite loose and does not give grounds for the seeking such medium. The Philo’s ascetic orientation to exegesis, his connection to Greek ethical philosophy, willingness to use the biblical allegory, these and other factors may have influenced Nil to seek inspiration by the Jewish philosopher. The predicted borrowings had also their consequences. The copying Philonian thought led to take over the ideas borrowed by others, including the elements of Platonism and Stoicism.

In his main work on monastic asceticism, De monastica exercitatione, Nilus of Ancyra (died around 430) uses many allegorical explanations of the Bible, especially of the Old Testament. Some of them seem to have traces of Origen's influence. We find the Alexandrian’s influence, direct or indirect, in the Nilus of Ancyra’s allusions to: Gen. 3: 15, Judg. 15: 4, 1 Sam. 14: 13, Ps. 137: 9, Lam. 4: 5, Zech. 11: 17. If Origen in these cases uses allegorics on doctrinal and ascetical grounds, the Nilus of Ancyra narrows it down to the ascetic subject.

PL

W swoim głównym piśmie na temat monastycznej ascezy, De monastica exercitatione, Nil z Ancyry (zm. ok. 430) stosuje wiele alegorycznych wyjaśnień Biblii, zwłaszcza Starego Testamentu. Niektóre z nich zdają się nosić ślady wpływu Orygenesa. Wpływ Aleksandryjczyka, bezpośredni lub pośredni, odnajdujemy w aluzjach Nila z Ancyry do: Rdz 3, 15, Sdz 15, 4, 1 Sm 14, 13, Ps 137 (136), 9, Lm 4, 5, Za 11, 17. O ile Orygenes stosuje alegorię w tych przypadkach na gruncie doktrynalnym i ascetycznym, to Nil z Ancyry zawęża ją na ogół do tematyki ascetycznej.
