John of Apamea (Syriac: ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܐܘܦܡܝܐ[1]), John the Solitary (Syriac: ܝܘܚܢܢ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ, romanized: Yoḥannan Iḥidaya), or John the Solitary of Apamea was a 5th-century Syriac Christian writer from Apamea, Syria.[2][3]
His writings are strongly influenced by Evagrius Ponticus's works, which were available to him via Syriac translations of the time.[4] In turn, John of Apamea's works have influenced Isaac the Syrian, a prolific 7th-century Syriac Christian mystical writer.[5]
