The Life and Miracles of St. Benedict
あらすじ・解説
Except for a short poem by St. Mark of Monte Cassino, the only ancient written account of St. Benedict (480 - 547) is this one, which is found in Pope Gregory I's Dialogues which is thought to have been written in 593.
Gregory's account of this saint's life provides a spiritual portrait of the gentle, disciplined abbot. In a letter to a Bishop of Syracuse, Gregory states that his aim in writing his Dialogues was to provide a kind of an anthology, or literally, "flowers", of the most striking miracles of the Italian saint.
Gregory explains that his information came to him from what he considered the best possible sources: A handful of Benedict's own disciples who were contemporaries of the saint and witnessed his miracles. These followers, he states, are Constantinus, who succeeded St. Benedict as Abbot of Monte Cassino; Valentinianus; Simplicius; and Honoratus, who was abbot of Subiaco at the time when St Gregory wrote his Dialogues.
A brilliant piece of medieval hagiography providing an authentic account of the Catholic Church's most famous and influential monk.
