'The Lausiac History ' Summary
Certainly not all of the Christian monks mentioned in the Lausiac History are recognized as Saints.

The recognized Saints mentioned include Anthony the Great, Paul the Simple, Macarius of Alexandria, Macarius of Egypt, Pachomius, Isidora the Fool for Christ, Melania the Younger, Pambo, and Serapion.
