Description
Abstract (cited)
De institutis and Conlationes of John Cassian († c. 435) are generally assumed to have contributed significantly to the development of early western monastic thought and practice. While these writings circulated widely in the early Middle Ages, when we examine the ways in which they were read by various authors, it is more difficult to conclude that they directly shaped monastic experience. This paper supplements other work by this author and surveys the use of Cassian's writings in ten early British and Irish texts or groups of texts, illustrating diversity in the ways in which they are used and the difficulties in situating them within a specifically monastic context.
