Book Description
THE LIFE of Our Most Holy Father Saint Benedict Being the Second Book of the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great. INTRODUCTION. THERE was a man of venerable life, Benedict by name and grace, who from the time of his very childhood carried the heart of an old man. His demeanour indeed surpassing his age, he gave himself no disport or pleasure, but living here upon earth he despised the world with all the glory thereof, at such time as he might have most freely enjoyed it. He was born in the province of Nursia of honourable parentage and sent to Rome to study the liberal sciences. But when he saw there many through the uneven paths of vice run headlong to their own ruin, he drew back his foot, but new-set in the world, lest, in the search of human knowledge, he might also fall into the same dangerous precipice. Contemning therefore learning and studies and abandoning his father's house and goods, he desired only to please God in a virtuous life. Therefore he departed skilfully ignorant and wisely unlearned. I have not attained unto all this man did, but the few things which I here setdown, were related to me by four of his disciples; namely, Constantine, a very reverend man, who succeeded him in the government of the Monastery; Valentinian, who for many years bore rule in the Monastery of Lateran; Simplicius, who was the third superior of that congregation after him; and Honoratus who yet governeth the Monastery which he first inhabited.
The Rule of Saint Benedict

Book Description
No book apart from the Bible was more copied in the Middle Ages than the venerable Rule of Saint Benedict, which has guided uncounted monks, nuns, oblates, and laymen to salvation for well over a millennium since it was written in the sixth century. Originating in rural Italy, its evident wisdom and simple style recommended it to Pope Saint Gregory the Great, and honoured by his approval it soon spread throughout Latin Christendom, becoming the monastic rule par excellence. Dom Justin McCann's translation of the Rule was first published in 1937, and has long been admired for its happy combination of elegance of style and accuracy. Having fallen out of print for decades, it is here finally republished in a newly typeset edition with historically correct monastic typeface. The dates on the margins mark the passages traditionally read at the Chapter Office after Prime that ensure the Rule is read in full three times a year, while the edition's pocket size (4 × 6 in.) makes it convenient for personal study and reflection as well. English-speaking readers here have an enduring companion as they 'gird their loins with faith and the performance of good works, and following the guidance of the Gospels walk in the Lord's paths, that they might merit to see him who has called us unto his kingdom'.
