The Real Cassian Revisited : Monastic Life, Greek Paideia, and Origenism in the Sixth Century (Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae)

"The Codex", entitled "The Book of Monk Cassian the Roman", reveals a sixth-century heretofore unknown intellectual, namely, Cassian the Sabaite, native of Scythopolis, being its real author. This book presents a critical analysis of texts included in "Codex 573" (ninth century, Monastery of Metamorphosis, Meteora, Greece).
