Dom Justin McCann's translation of the Rule of St. Benedict was first published in 1937, and has long been admired for its happy combination of elegance of style and accuracy. Having fallen out of print for decades, it is here finally republished in a newly typeset edition with historically correct monastic typeface in 2024.
The dates on the margins mark the passages traditionally read at the Chapter Office after Prime that ensure the Rule is read in full three times a year.
