CASSIANUS, Johannes (c.360-435). De institutis coenobiorum – Collationes patrum XXIV. Basel: [Johann Amerbach, after 24 September] 1485.
First edition of De institutis coenobiorum, in which Cassian sets out the ordinary rules for monastic life and discusses a will that is more complex than the will at the heart of the Pelagian message, and second edition of Collationes Patrum. Willful monks are a contentious problem, and Cassian paid considerable attention to analyzing the will, treating the corrupt will, and chiefly subordinating even the good will for the good of the community and ultimately, the will of God. HC *4562; GW 6160; BMC III 748; Bod-inc C-102; BSB-Ink C-165; Goff C-233.
2 parts in one volume, chancery folio (302 x 210mm). Opening initials supplied in red and blue, rubricated, woodcut of the Conversion of St Paul on b5 (small stains, small wormholes in final few quires). Contemporary Buxheim blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards [Schwenke-Sammlung Schrift 264], metal clasps, manuscript title on spine and along lower edges (a few wormholes). Provenance: early marginalia in several hands – Buxheim Carthusian Monastery Library (inscription, stamp on title).
