This is the first English translation of Dom Jean Mabillon's
treatise that defends the propriety of study and research as an
occupation for monks, and lays out a course of studies for young
Benedictines training to be scholars. In the 1680s the strict
Trappist reformer, Armand-Jean de Rance, published books condemning
scholarship as a suitable occupation for monks. Mabillon belonged
to the Maurists, a group of French Benedictines who were already
launched on a 150-year odyssey of collecting, editing, and
publishing critical editions of the church Fathers, the classics of
early French literature and history, the annals of the Benedictine
order from its beginnings, and critically vetted lives of
Benedictine saints. Mabillon refuted Rance's claims, but
transformed the debate by writing a masterful survey of authors and
works with which monastic scholars should be familiar: pagan
classics, the writings of early Christianity, and important
publications of the 16th and 17th centuries on topics ranging from
biblical scholarship to belles lettres to civil and canon law to
books about books. Mabillon includes a "list of difficulties met
with in reading the councils, the Fathers, and church history" that
presents problems in a non-dogmatic, open-ended way. This edition
includes a translator's introduction, suggestions for further
reading on the monastic studies controversy, all Mabillon's
marginal notes, a bibliography of all published works mentioned in
the text, and an index."
