Benedict, St (
c.480–
c.550), of Nursia, ‘Patriarch of Western monasticism’. The licentiousness of society at Rome led him to withdraw
c.500 to a cave at
Subiaco to live as a hermit. A community grew up around him and he is said to have established a group of monasteries in the area. Local jealousy prompted him to move, with a small group of monks, to
Monte Casino,
c.529. Here he elaborated plans for the reform of monasticism and composed his Rule (see
BENEDICT, RULE OF ST). He does not seem to have been ordained or to have contemplated founding an order. Feast day, in the W., 11 July (formerly, 21 Mar); in the E., 14 Mar.
