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.

John Cassian (c. 365-c. 435) journeyed to the West to found monasteries in Marseilles and the region of Provence. Conferences is his masterpiece, a study of the Egyptian ideal of the monk.
