The Regulation Of Monks

Vigilius the Deacon, a Roman churchman who is believed to have been writing in the Frankish kingdoms during the 7th century, lists here the rules that are necessary for monastic discipline. Many of these are familiar to other monastic rules, including that of St. Pachomius and St. Benedict. Other rules appear specifically tailored to this Gallican community. Vigilius does appear to draw upon Egyptian monasticism specifically, and goes after far to reference these precepts as the "eastern rule".
