The Rule of Augustine, very likely the oldest monastic rule with Western origins, provides daily inspiration for more than 150 Christian communities. This study traces the development of Augustine's monastic ideal, largely shaped by Graeco-Roman philosophical and rhetorical influences.

* With a Latin text and a facing-page translation of the Rule, Regulations for a Monastery, and Letter 211

The Rule of Augustine, very likely the oldest monastic rule with western origins, provides daily inspiration for more than 150 Christian communities. In giving an account of Augustine's distinctive contributions to the monastic spirituality of the late Roman world, and in particular of his achievement as a monastic legislator, Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule fills a long-standing gap in Augustinian studies.
