The Ancren Riwle is a book written in the 13th century for the guidance of women who chose to live a monastic life as an anchorite, or recluse. This 1853 edition, translated and edited by James Morton, provides a comprehensive and detailed guide to the rules and duties of monastic life, including advice on prayer, fasting, and the use of time. The book also includes a discussion of the virtues and vices that anchorites should cultivate or avoid, as well as practical advice on how to deal with the challenges and temptations that may arise in a life of solitude. The Ancren Riwle is an important historical document that provides insight into the religious and social practices of medieval England, as well as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of monasticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
