Best English Version of the Rule of St. Benedict

    • Does anyone know the best version of it in pdf? I’ve seen one from ccel.org that’s from 1949 but don’t know how it compares to others. 

    Most of what I see in archive.org are commentaries of the Rule and not just the Rule by itself, which is what I’m looking for. 

    Thanks.

    • From Solesmes, 1931 pdf

    https://www.solesmes.com/sites/default/files/upload/pdf/rule_of_st_benedict.pdf

    Any layman will benefit reading this RULE, the foundation of Western civilization. Deo gratias for St Benedict!
    Fr. Cyprian in Silver City, New Mexico, "sells " the Rule Booklet, as a daily reading edition.  It is a compact version, expertly crafted. So every day you read one passage, flip the card, and you are ready for the next day.
