The Philokalia is a monastic anthology that escaped into the world. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain and Makarios of Corinth compiled it on Athos and had it printed in Venice in 1782 — texts from Evagrius, Maximus, Symeon the New Theologian, Gregory of Sinai and Palamas, on the watch kept over one's own thoughts and on the prayer of the heart. Paisius Velichkovsky translated it into Slavonic in 1793, and Theophan the Recluse into Russian in the 1870s and 80s, and at that point a body of instruction written for hesychast monks was in the hands of laypeople across the Russian Empire. The Way of a Pilgrim, an anonymous nineteenth-century Russian account of a wanderer who prays the Jesus Prayer continuously, is the popular fruit of that, and it is the book through which most Westerners have met the practice — including, via Salinger's Franny and Zooey, a large number who had no idea it was Orthodox.
