The Gregorian Dialogues and the Origins of Benedictine Monasticism

This book condenses and updates the cogent case showing that Gregory the Great did not write the famous "Dialogues" traditionally ascribed to him. It throws much new light on early Benedictine history and on the life and times of St. Gregory.
