"There is no consensus among scholars about the authorship of The Life of Saint Neilos.
According to the monastic tradition of Grottaferrata the Life was written by Saint
Bartholomew the Younger, otherwise known as Saint Bartholomew of Grottaferrata. Other
scholars disagree with the attribution to Bartholomew. However, there is consensus
that Saint Neilos's Life was written in Grottaferrata or in a nearby Latin region
and the anonymous hagiographer was probably a Calabrian monk, one of Saint Neilos's
early disciples. The unidentified author was an eyewitness of the historic events
of the period and a faithful disciple of the saint who practiced first-hand the teaching
of his spiritual father and teacher. A phrase in the prologue (chapter 1.1), "these
last times of the last centuries," suggests that the Life may have been written early
in the eleventh century, soon after Neilos's death, as it implies millenarian concerns
that were common in this era. In comparison to the Lives of other Italo-Greek saints
who were born and active in southern Italy and Sicily, the biography of Saint Neilos
not only is documented in the hagiographic text and in the religious hymns dedicated
to the saintly monk, but can be traced independently in other sources, as well. For
example, the year of Neilos's death is documented in a Grottaferrata inscription which
indicates the year 6513 (1004) according to the Byzantine calculation."
