Commentaries on the Regula Benedicti

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article also fails to mention the important commentary that Paul the Deacon composed regarding the observance and practice of Benedictine monasticism. This work, usually taken as part of the Warnefrid-Hildemar commentaries, is integral to an understanding of monasticism in the Early Medieval period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.195.197 (talk) 18:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

"from a medieval manuscript"

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Please don't do this. "A medieval manuscript" is, by itself, not a reference. This is being done all over the place, I have no idea why it isn't challenged more often. --dab (𒁳) 11:11, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Article Revision

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi all, I’ve been working on the Paul the Deacon page and wanted to leave a quick note explaining the changes I made and the thinking behind them.

A lot of the article still relied on older scholarship and had some long, dense sections, so I tried to reorganize things and bring in newer research where it was helpful. I rewrote the lead to give a clearer overview of who Paul was and why he matters, especially in terms of his place in both Lombard and Carolingian contexts.

For the Life section, I broke it into smaller subsections (Early Life, Lombard service, transition after the Frankish conquest, Monte Cassino, etc.) because the original version was pretty hard to follow as one block. I also updated a few parts with more recent sources.

In the Works section, I split out the major texts into individual subsections and added some explanation about their contents and context. The page didn’t have much on how these works are understood today, so I added a new Historiography and Legacy section summarizing some of the main themes in modern scholarship.

I also added several current academic sources (Heath, McKitterick, Goffart, Everett, Noble, and a few others) to balance the older references that were already there.

If anything looks off or needs adjusting, I’m happy to revisit it. Thanks. JAndersen History (talk) 07:44, 28 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have reverted these changes as they appear to be undisclosed AI-generated text. Gnomingstuff (talk) 04:43, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
