57. John Cassian: The Conferences Hardcover - 1997
by Commentaries by Boniface Ramsey; Boniface Ramsey (Translator)
Long awaited by medievalists, monastics, and patrisic scholars, these are the complete conferences of Cassian, a major spiritual writer, a precursor of Benedict, and a bridge between the desert and the West. The conferences are a record of his dialogues and focus on the cultivation of virtue and purity of heart. Annotations include scholarly addenda, notes, textual reference, commentaries, and an index.
First line
In this first of three prefaces Cassian compares The Institutes and the first ten books of The Conferences (if we are to credit 2 praef. 2 it would appear that he had not yet planned on writing the remaining fourteen; but cf. p. 397), speaking of the former as touching on "the external and visible life of the monks" and of the latter as dealing with "the invisible character of the inner man" (1 praef. 5).
