Description

Adalbert de Vogüé (1924-2011) was the 20th century's most prolific and influential scholar of ancient monastic rules in the 20th century. This session is a tribute to him by way of soundings in his work and interests. One presenter was his student; another is translating his monumental commentary on the Rule of Benedict. The first two papers are concerned with his editions and studies of the Rule of the Master and the Rule of Benedict. The third paper explores a puzzling passage in one of the Latin Rules that De Vogüé studied in his monumental Histoire littéraire du mouvement monastique de la antiquité latin.
