Here's the better bit that I was coming to Daston for:
"What to modern eyes reads as a pendulum swing between stringency and indulgence was to pre-modern sensibilities the only way to formulate a complete rule, both specific and supple" -- Daston, Rules: A Short History of What We Live By
Like I said, a mostly really-smart book!

In fairness to Daston, the discussion goes on to talk about the rule's "extraordinary
resilience and adaptability," and it's that part of the discussion which drew me back to the book, and which I *will* draw on in my own material.But I was really caught out by the mis-step early in the chapter in ways that hadn't hit me upon first reading.
Every reading is a fresh reading.

"The seventy-three chapters (praecepta) of the Rule of Saint Benedict seem to regulate
every moment and every aspect of monastic life in maniacal detail. If micro-managers have a patron saint, it is surely Saint Benedict." -- Daston, Rules: A Short History of What We Live ByIt struck me on this reading how unfortunately glib that assessment is. In a mostly smart book, this moment was funny, but flat-footed

July 11 is the Feast of Saint Benedict of Nursia. In chaotic times, he found peace through prayer and silence, becoming a hermit and esteemed teacher. His Rule of Life balanced prayer, work, and rest, influencing Christian communities for centuries. His legacy urges us to live simply, pray often, and care for others, reminding us that peace and purpose are attainable, even in uncertain times. #SaintBenedict #CatholicSaints #Benedictine #FeastDay https://young-catholics.com/7822/st-benedict/

Yes, #EddieVedder called #HarrisonButker a ‘pussy’ – and no, he didn’t lose $14m for saying it.
Butker has been #criticised by fellow #NFL #players, #nuns at the #Benedictine #College, and a #petition calling for him to be #axed by the #KansasCityChiefs. Now, he can add #PearlJam #frontman #EddieVedder to the list.

For decades, Fr. Columba Stewart, a #Benedictine Monk of St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, has traveled the world in an effort to preserve #manuscripts belonging to #EndangeredCommunities.
Books and fragile documents carry not just the stories and ideas that connected diverse communities, but also the physical traces of the individual scribes and #librarians who cared for them.
