The Rule Of Pachomius At Tabenna Or The Asketikon

By Pachomius

Book Overview

The Rule of Pachomius at Tabenna, also known as The Asketikon, is a book written by E.A. Wallis Budge. The book provides a complete description of the monastic rule established by Saint Pachomius at Tabenna in Upper Egypt during the fourth century. The rule is based on the principles of communal living, obedience, and asceticism, and it lays out guidelines for the daily life of the monks, including their diet, clothing, work, and prayer. Budge's book is a translation of the original Coptic text, which was discovered in the early twentieth century. The text is divided into two parts: the first part outlines the general principles of the rule, while the second part provides specific instructions for the monks. The Rule of Pachomius at Tabenna is an important historical document that sheds light on the early development of monasticism in Egypt and the wider Christian world. It provides valuable insights into the daily life and practices of the monks at Tabenna, and it offers a glimpse into the spiritual and social world of early Christianity.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paradise of the Holy Fathers Part 1, by E.
