"PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION (1951) ""Cardinal Schuster's wide knowledge of the history of early canon and civil law, of the liturgy and of Italian ecclesiastical history between St Benedict and St Gregory, gives its principal interest to the book, in its interpretation both of the Rule and of the Second Book of St Gregory's Dialogues.... The great strength and charm of the book will be found in its monastic spirit, and in the profound pietas which it breathes towards St Benedict and towards Monte Cassino."" -Aelred Sillem, OSB ""The best modern life of St Benedict is the beautiful book of Cardinal Schuster, OSB-a book full of true Benedictine spirit and monastic charm."" -Thomas Merton, OCSO ""To the ordinary reader, this life of St Benedict is a welcome book, for he will see how the minute study of contemporary history and sixth-century canonical procedure can, if carefully managed, increase his knowledge of the period and so help to explain much that might appear obscure in the Rule and the Dialogues."" -Basil Hume, OSB"
