Concerning Virgins

Concerning Virgins (De Virginibus) is a collection of letters written by Saint Ambrose around 377 CE, addressed to his sister Manellia. The work serves as an ethical guide for women considering a life in nunneries, showcasing Ambrose's early thoughts on morality and virtue. This text is notable for influencing later Christian writers, including St. Jerome and St. Augustine, and is recognized as part of the extra-biblical canon of early church fathers.
