On the Tools and Property of the Monastery
Mar. 10—July 10—Nov. 9
For the care of the monastery’s property in tools, clothing and other
articles let the Abbot appoint brethren on whose manner of life and
character he can rely; and let him, as he shall judge to be expedient,
consign the various articles to them, to be looked after and to be
collected again. The Abbot shall keep a list of these articles, so that
as the brethren succeed one another in their assignments he may know
what he gives and what he receives back.
If anyone treats the monastery’s property in a slovenly or careless way,
let him be corrected. If he fails to amend, let him undergo the
discipline of the Rule.
