The Institutes of John Cassian were written between the years 420 and 424 at the request of Bishop Castor of Apt. The first four books describe the monastic way of life, namely the dress, divine office, common life, and monastic virtues, using the example of the Eastern monks. The eight following books deal with the eight principal vices, and how a monk can safeguard against them so as to achieve the peace of heart which is necessary in order to contemplate.
