Moreover, studies undertaken during the last decades on Muslim mystics brought to light certain similarities with the Christian ascetic world, both in the field of reflection as in practices. The present article would like to suggest some historical links illustrating these similarities. It is generally known that Muslim ascetics frequented Christian monasteries and interrogated the monks; sometimes mention is also made of books they read in the monasteries. The Apophtegmata, which Christians from Syria-Mesopotamia translated into Syriac, could be among these books read and meditated upon by the Sufis.
