| Summary: | In the present study, the discourse On the Four Cardinal Virtues and on the Monastic Institution by patriarch Kallistos I, found in codices Athous Chilandaricus 8, ff. 319r-324r, and Athous Panteleimonos 1074, ff. 202v-206r, is edited for the first time. Patriarch Kallistos addressed his discourse to a monastic audience in order to restore unity and tranquility among the monks, who had been divided for a reason that remains unclear according to the information provided by the text itself. Kallistos reminds his audience of the particular conditions of monastic life and points out that the life objectives of monks and laymen are, by definition, totally different. |
