I have been looking for some time for an English translation of St. John Chrysostom's treatise "On Virginity", and have not been able to find it. I think I did find once someone who translated it, but the book was very expensive, more than $100.00, I believe, and contained much commentary by the translator, who has a reputation for not very good translation.
Has anyone seen or heard of a good translation? Thank you very much!

Dear Cecily,

They do tend to be pricey, but if you go to the Abe books site you will find one copy at a reasonable price at a Canadian bookstore at this link: booksrus@atticus-books.com

I can't vouch for the translation, but it seems to be the only one in print at the moment.

In Christ,

John
