First Sentence

At the end of the fourth century, less than fifty years after the death of St. Antony the Great, John Cassian journeyed from either Scythia or Gaul to Palestine and thence to Egypt on a spiritual and geographical odyssey to discover in the desert both the roots of Christian monasticism and the God-given springs that nourished those roots (fig. 1.1).
