Jean Cassien, moine en Égypte puis en Provence au IVe siècle, a été l'un des auteurs spirituels les plus lus en Occident. Sa réflexion sur les grands aspects de la vie intérieure a inspiré d'innombrables auteurs chrétiens. Saint Dominique, par exemple, sillonnait les routes d'Europe en emportant avec lui deux livres, l'Évangile selon saint Matthieu et les « Conférences » de Cassien. Les plus belles pages de cette oeuvre majeure sont rendues ici accessibles à un large public.
