Saint Columban: His Life, Rule, and Legacy contains a new English translation of a commentary on the entire Rule of Columban. Columban was a sixth-century Irish monk who compiled a written rule of life for the three monasteries he founded in France: Anegray, Luxeuil, and Fontaines. This volume also includes the first English translation of the Regula cuiusdam Patris ad Virgines, or the Rule of Walbert, compiled by the seventh-century Count Walbert from various earlier rules designed for women, including those of Columban, Benedict, Cassian, and Basil. This book begins with an extensive introduction to the history of Columban and his monks, as well as various indices and notes, which will be of interest to students and enthusiasts of monastic studies.

Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Saint Columban: 542? 615 The distinctive characteristics Of the Irish monks Of Old, th J passion for pilgrimage and preaching, the imperious necessity, as Montalembert calls it, of spreading themselves without, of I seeking or carrying knowledge and faith afar, never died out like the grand Old faith itself, it is the characteristic of the. Irish race. In our own day hundreds of thousands of the sons and daughters of Erin leave their country to earn their bread' in honest toil abroad; and in every land under heaven, in Asia, Africa and America, in Australia and New Zealand and in the South Sea Islands, we find the Irish priest and monk and bishop converting the heathen or keeping bright the lamp of faith where it has already been lighted.
