Abstrakt/ Abstract: In his Letters Antony speaks of wisdom which takes on three meanings: practical, mental, and spiritual. Practical wisdom, reflected in the term σοφός, covers both the craftsmen such as poets, musicians. Mental wisdom for Antony means a certain disdain of all too material preoccupations as to be able to know oneself but also to understand the time in which we live. Spiritual wisdom is the ability to see through the deceptions of the devil, while recognizing the goodness of the Father. These three types of wisdom in the letters of St. Anthony were addressed to his contemporaries, but they have not lost their actuality. They also have something to say to the man of today.
