John Cassian: The Conferences Boniface Ramsey, O.P. [translator]

The Conferences is the first complete English translation of the twenty-four dialogues between Cassian and the desert fathers of Egypt. A native of Dacia, Cassian (c.360-430) joined a monastery in Bethlehem in his early adult years, from where he visited Egypt several times, experiencing Egyptian monasticism where he learned about the monastic tradition from the great desert masters or abbas. Cassian's writings here record twenty-four dialogues with fifteen abbas.
