1661 Saint Benedict Nursia Monastic Rule Monks Nuns Catholic Monasticism MINI

A rare 17^th-century book on the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the 5^th-century monk known for founding Benedictine monasticism.

‘Rule of Saint Benedict’ was Benedict’s most famous work which was written for monks living in a commune, teaching them to live under an abbot. It has continually been used for fifteen centuries and has helped Saint Benedict be remembered as the father of Western monastics. Saint Benedict also covers the main principles of religious living, defining the types of monks, how to become a monk, regulations, emphasizing prayer and focus on God, caring for the sick and elderly, expected behavior, and much more.

This 1661 first edition of Benedict’s “Regle” includes spiritual exercises, published in Paris by Bechet.
