The Rule of Saint Benedict

About this book

This special edition of The Rule of Saint Benedict was published for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of Liturgical Press. Leonard Doyles translation of St. Benedicts Rule for Monasteries appeared in 1948 and has remained in print ever since. Generations of monastics oblates and others whose lives are influenced by monastic spirituality have encountered the Rule by means of Doyles work which remains by far the most widely known and used English version of the Rule. The traditional dates for the thrice-yearly reading of the Rule are included in this edition. Simple clear text and beautiful cover art enhance the value of this edition. The elegance of the page as crafted by the master eye of renowned liturgical artist and designer Frank Kacmarcik OblSB makes it a treasure to read and study as Benedict intended. With ribbon marker.
