L'opera ispiratrice di San Benedetto ha guidato i monaci benedettini per quindici secoli e l'edizione Penguin Classics di The Rule of Benedict è tradotta con un'introduzione e note di Carolinne White. Fondatore di un monastero a Montecassino, tra Roma e Napoli, nel VI secolo, San Benedetto intendeva che la sua Regola fosse una guida pratica alla vita monastica cristiana. Basata sui precetti chiave di umiltà, obbedienza e amore, il suo scopo è quello di creare una comunità religiosa armoniosa ed efficiente in cui gli individui possano progredire nelle virtù cristiane e ottenere la vita eterna. Qui, Benedetto stabilisce le routine e le regole ideali del monastero, dalle qualità di un buon abate, i dodici passi verso l'umiltà e il valore del silenzio a questioni quotidiane come i doveri in cucina, la cura dei malati e la punizione appropriata per i ritardi ai pasti. L'eredità di Benedetto è ancora forte: la sua Regola rimane una fonte di ispirazione e un'opera fondamentale nella storia della chiesa cristiana. La traduzione accessibile di Carolinne White è accompagnata da un'introduzione che discute gli insegnamenti di Benedetto, ciò che si sa della sua vita e l'influenza e la diffusione della sua Regola. San Benedetto da Norcia (c. 480-543 d.C.) fondò dodici monasteri, il più noto dei quali fu il suo primo monastero a Monte Cassino, in Italia. Benedetto scrisse una serie di regole che governavano i suoi monaci, La Regola di Benedetto, uno dei documenti più influenti nella civiltà occidentale. Benedetto fu canonizzato santo nel 1220. Se ti è piaciuta La Regola di Benedetto, potresti apprezzare Le Confessioni di Sant'Agostino, disponibili anche in Penguin Classics.

Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 AD – 543 AD) founded twelve monasteries, the best known of which was his first monastery at Monte Cassino in Italy. Benedict wrote a set of rules governing his monks, the Rule of Saint Benedict, one of the more influential documents in Western Civilization. Benedict was canonized a saint in 1220.
Carolinne White was born in London and read Classics and Modern Languages at St.Hugh's College, Oxford. She wrote a doctoral thesis on Christian ideas of friendship in the fourth century, published in 1992. After 2 years spent teaching Latin at UNISA in Pretoria, she returned to Oxford where she worked on the supplement to the Liddell and Scott Greek Lexicon and taught Patristic and Medieval Latin. She now divides her time between work as an assistant editor on the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources, translation work, and her four children. Her publications include a translation of the correspondence between Jerome and Augustine (1990), Early Christian Lives (published by Penguin in 1998), and an anthology of Early Christian Latin poetry in translation (2000).
