This new Latin-English edition has features of interest for first-time readers of the \u003ci\u003eRule\u003c\/i\u003e as well as for scholars of medieval history and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Latin text is a transcription of manuscript 914 of the Abbey of St. Gall (Switzerland), an early ninth-century copy regarded as the version that most closely reproduces Benedict's style. The saint's idiom was informal, sometimes conversational, and heavily influenced by the spoken Latin of the sixth century CE. In the \u003ci\u003eRule\u003c\/i\u003e, his voice and thought processes come through in all their strength and humanity. Readers will find background to the monastic life in the notes. This volume also includes texts and translations of two letters that explain the origins of the St. Gall version as well as an index to all the translated materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471826993388,"sku":"9780674053045","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/77b6e3de0ff19e090f660c01ebb3a6c0.jpg?v=1775694248"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/benedict-of-nursia.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
