Paul the Simple

St. Paul the Simple of Egypt was a hermit and disciple of St. Anthony the Great. St John, the Abbot of Sinai wrote Paul the Simple was a clear example for us, for he was the rule and type of blessed simplicity. He was also, with contemporary St. Paul of Egypt, the First Hermit. The account of his life is found in Palladius of Helenopolis De Vitis Patrum 8,28 and Tyrannius Rufinus Historia Eremitica 31.
