Subject: The Middle Ages

ViOLLET-LE-Duc has said : "Regarded merely from the philosophical point of view, the Rule of St Benedict is perhaps the greatest historical fact of the Middle Ages."
Great authority though he was on the Middle Ages, there may be some demur in accepting this verdict. Certainly there will be no demur in recognising that St Benedict's Rule has been one of the great facts in the history of western Europe, and that its influence and effects are with us to this day.
This being so, it is surely strange that, as I believe, the Rule has never yet been made the object of an historical study setting forth on an extended scale its principles and its working.
