The Rule gives a fascinating insight into the standards and behavior expected of monks in their everyday lives. It remains notable for embodying the concept of a written constitution and influencing the shape of medieval Europe. Today the Rule, with its universal message, offers a deep and practical spirituality to all people desiring a good life.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Jonathan Booth gives a splendidly somber narration of this work…Booth’s British accent is a good match for this text. His intonation and pacing, along with his somber tone, noted above, are perfect for transmitting the instructions of a superior to a subordinate…While most would not consider a set of laws something to be listened to attentively, Booth makes this production work.” —AudioFile
