Summary/Abstract: The Life of St Anthony the Great is the key text of Christian monasticism. As such, it contains the foundation of Christian ascetic terminology. It can be assumed that its Old Slavonic translations rendered this terminological apparatus into the Slavonic context. This paper aims at discussing the translations of one of the keywords denoting ‘thought’ in ascetic literature – λογισμός. The translations are situated in a larger context and additional examples from the Classical corpus of Old Church Slavonic texts are adduced.
