Modestly described by its author as "a little rule for beginners," this masterpiece of spiritual wisdom was written in the 6th century as a handbook for aspiring monks. Today, it ranks as the preeminent monastic legislative code. Its concise guidance fosters the development of self-discipline, supported by community worship.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A noble edition of a spiritual classic,
By
This review is from: The Rule of St. Benedict (Leather Bound)
There are many editions of this great spiritual classic, but Cardinal Gasquet's translation of the Rule of Saint Benedict has been out of print for too long. It is a delight to see it reprinted - and so handsomely - leatherbound, gold blocking, silk ribbon, noble endpapers. Baronius have done a great service in publishing it so beautifully.
Its pocket-size renders it particularly useful for the laity who may wish to read a portion each day as they travel, and the dignity of this edition makes it an ideal gift. Cardinal Gasquet's introduction, too, offers valuable insights to the rule and to Benedictine spirituality.

Very Nice Leather!,

This review is from: The Rule of St. Benedict (Leather Bound)
Let me just say that there are many editions of this classic book that are much more affordable, but if you are looking for a book that will last a lifetime, a book that feels wonderful in your hands, this is the edition you want! The Rule is a pocket-sized book, nicely printed on good paper, bound in genuine leather, with a ribbon marker. The leather is thick and soft, hand-bound over sturdy boards, and it even smells wonderful. Perhaps the perfect edition of The Rule of St. Benedict. Highly recommended.
