<p> An order of monks who professed to follow the rules of St. Benedict. They were obliged to perform their devotions seven times in twenty-four hours. They were obliged always to go two and two together. [[Every]] day in [[Lent]] they fasted till six in the evening, and abated of their usual time in sleeping, eating, &c. </p> <p> Every monk had two coats, two cowls, a table-book, a knife, a needle, and a handkerchief; and the furniture of his bed was a mat, a blanket, a rug, and a pillow. The time when this order came into [[England]] is well known, for to it the [[English]] owe their conversion from idolatry. They founded the metropolitan church of Canterbury, and all the cathedrals that were afterwards erected. the order has produced a vast number of eminent men. </p> <p> Their Alcuinus formed the university of Paris; their [[Dionysius]] Exiguus perfected the ecclesiastical computation; their Guido invented the scale of music; and their Sylvester the organ. </p> | |||

<p> The order of monks founded by St. [[Benedict]] and following his rule, the cradle of which was the celebrated monastery of [[Monte]] Casino, near Naples, an institution which reckoned among its members a large body of eminent men, who in their day rendered immense service to both literature and science, and were, in fact, the only learned class of the [[Middle]] Ages; spent their time in diligently transcribing manuscripts, and thus preserving for posterity the classic literature of [[Greece]] and Rome. </p> | |||
