Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLIMAX, JOHN (c. 525600 A.D.) , ascetic and mystic, also called Scholasticus and Sinaites. After having spent
forty
  years in a cave at the foot of
mount
 
Sinai
 , he became abbot of the monastery. His life has been written by Daniel, a monk belonging to the monastery of Raithu, on the Red Sea. He derives his name Climax (or Climacus) from his
work
  of the same name (K~ia Tpu Ilapaieivou, ladder to Paradise), in thirty sections, corresponding to the thirty years of the life of Christ. It is written in a simple and popular style. The first part treats of the vices that hinder the attainment of holiness, the second of the virtues of a Christian.
