Description
The Nun's Rule: The Ancren Riwle is a book written by James Morton that provides a detailed description of the rules and regulations that governed the life of anchoresses, or nuns who lived in seclusion during the Middle Ages. The book is based on the Ancren Riwle, a medieval religious text that was written in the early 13th century for a group of anchoresses in England.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the anchoresses' lives. The first section provides an overview of the Ancren Riwle and its historical context, while the second section focuses on the rules that governed the anchoresses' daily routines. This includes guidelines for prayer, fasting, and other religious practices, as well as instructions for how to maintain a clean and orderly living space.The third section of the book covers the anchoresses' relationships with the outside world, including their interactions with visitors and their responsibilities to their families and communities. The fourth and final section of the book provides a detailed analysis of the Ancren Riwle itself, examining its literary style and theological themes.Overall, The Nun's Rule: The Ancren Riwle is a comprehensive guide to the lives of anchoresses during the Middle Ages, providing readers with a fascinating glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs of this often-overlooked group of women.No anchorite, by my advice, shall make profession, that is, vow to keep any thing as commanded, except three things, that is, obedience, chastity, and constancy as to her abode; that she shall never more change her convent, except only by necessity, as compulsion and fear of death, obedience to her bishop or superior; for, whoso undertaketh any thing, and promises to God to do it as his command, binds herself thereto, and sinneth mortally in breaking it, if she brake it wilfully and intentionally.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
