Jean Cassien : Les Institution

When at the beginning of the fifth century, the bishop of Apt Castor, sought to found a monastery in his province, he wrote Cassian, abbot of the monastery of St. Victor Marseille, for advice on religious education . The latter replied in very simple terms, drawing on rules of St. Basil, St. Jerome, and what he had observed among the monks of Egypt and Palestine. Saint Benedict will build on the work of Cassian to write his own rule.

You will find below the letter of Castor and response that brings him Cassian in the institutions. You can also listen to radio programs incorporating the twelve Conferences Marseille monk.
