The Rule of St. Benedict
Benedict's Rule from Monte Cassino (c. 530) — a prologue and seventy-three brief chapters that shaped Western monastic life, promising "nothing harsh, nothing burdensome." One section a day finishes it in seventy-four days; monasteries read it through three times a year, for a lifetime. Doyle's translation, from this library's own shelf.
