12. Cassian, John i. 419-426. [De institutis coenobiorum et de octo principalium vitiorum remediis libri XII, trans. as The Twelve Books of John Cassian on the Institutes of the Coenobia, and the Remedies for the Eight Principal Vices, with Prolegomena, Prefaces, and Notes, by Edgar C. S. Gibson in Schaff and Wace 1894, q.v.: 163-169 (contents), 201-290 (text). The treatment of the capital sins begins with Book V 'Of the spirit of gluttony', and continues as follows: Book VI, 'Of the spirit of fornication'; Book VII, 'Of the spirit of covetousness'; Book VIII, 'Of the spirit of anger'; Book IX, 'Of the spirit of dejection'; Book X, 'Of the spirit of accidie'; Book XI, 'Of the spirit of vain-glory'; Book XII, 'Of the spirit of pride'
13. Notable in this Gibson translation is a ludicrous lacuna, namely, the result of the decision not to translate Book VI. On p. 248 of the Schaff and Wace volume, where the translation of Book VI should begin, one encounters instead a Victorian curiosity: 'We have thought best to omit altogether the translation of this book'. This bizarre spectacle is repeated in this same work when it comes to the Second and Twenty-Second of Cassian's Conferences (entry following, pp. 422 and 519, respectively) which also treat of sexual matter. Fortunately this triple lacuna has since been filled in the trans. by Terrence G. Kardong, Cassian on Chastity (Richardton, ND: Assumption Abbey Press, 1993). I am grateful to Mr. James Brokman for calling Kardong's work to my attention.]
