Description:Excerpt from The Modern Language Review, Vol. 11: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Study of Medieval and Modern Literature and Philology The object of this paper is to prove that (1) the Ancren Riwle was written by an English Dominican Friar and (2) this English Dominican Friar was probably Friar Robert Bacon, O.P. I The 'Ancren Riwle' was Written by an English Dominican Friar (1) J. B. Dalgairns, with true historical insight, wrote in 1870: 'The only thing that is certain is that it was written by a Dominican; for the list of prayers which the writer enumerates as having been in use among the lay brethren of his Order are nearly identical with those ordered in the Rule of St Dominic.' (2) As the Dominicans [or Friar Preachers] followed the Rule of St Augustine, which they supplemented by Constitutions divided into two Distinctions, it is at once significant that the Ancren Riwle is undoubtedly on the lines of the Rule of St Augustine. (a) It begins, like the rule of St Augustine, with charity and the regulation of the heart (p. 3). (b) It quotes from St Augustine's Rule: 'Nothing must be sought contrary to the rule of the supreme authority' (p. 5). Again, 'An immodest rule is the messenger of an unchaste heart' (p. 61). Again, 'Augustine putteth both these in one balance - to desire and to wish to be desired' (p. 61). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
