i recently read the way of the pilgrim and in it, the Philokalia is mentioned a fair bit. However the way it is mentioned makes it seem as though it’s a single book, whereas when I looked it up it seems it can only be obtained in 4 volumes. Is there a correspondence between the version mentioned in The Way of the Pilgrim and these four versions?
And what’s the difference between the Greek and the Russian philokalia? Is it just that one of them has more authors, or are they from different authors completely? (E.g., the Greek pulls quotations from the Greek authors, the Russian from Russian authors)
