A [[monk]] known for his [[sermon]]s, Dorotheos of Gaza was born c. 500 in Antioch into a wealthy family. He received a classical education and developed a love of books. He became a monk and was a disciple of Barsanuphrios. C. 540, he left this [[monastery]] to found his own. He may have left because of his fondness for the writings of [[Evagrius Ponticus|Evagrius Pontus]], whose work is sometimes considered similar to that of [[Origen]], whom Barsanuphrios had condemned. As [[archimandrite]], Dorotheos wrote spiritual instructions for his monks in which he praises [[humility]] above all the other virtues. Dorotheos died c. 560, and his works are known largely through quotations found in the writings of Theodore of Studios and his disciples.
