07 — The Spiritual Writings

Nicodemus’s own spiritual and devotional authorship, beyond his editions and anthologies: the Handbook of Spiritual Counsel (Symbouleutikon Encheiridion), his neptic treatise on the guarding of the senses and the imagination; the Christian Morality (Chrēstoētheia); and his prolific hymnography and liturgical commentary — the Eortodromion, the New Theotokarion, and the services he composed.
