Years: 529 - 529
Italian monk Benedict of Nursia, after spending three years as a hermit, gathers disciples around him, first at Subiaco and later at Monte Cassino in southern Italy, where he establishes a monastery in 529.
The rule that he writes for his monks, the “Rule of Benedict,” draws heavily from a somewhat earlier monastic rule known as the “Rule of the Master,” but Benedict’s rule, destined to become a model for monasticism, takes a more spiritual, more person-oriented, and less narrow approach.
