Regula Sancti Patris Benedicti, or the Rule of Saint Benedict, is a foundational text of Western monasticism. Written in Latin by Saint Benedict of Nursia in the 6th century, it outlines a comprehensive set of precepts for monastic life, emphasizing prayer, work, obedience, and community. This edition presents the original Latin text, offering scholars and students direct access to Benedict's enduring wisdom. The Rule's profound influence on the development of monastic orders and its lasting impact on Western culture make it an essential resource for understanding medieval history and Christian spirituality.
