[PDF] The Medal of S. Benedict: Origin, Meaning and Privileges by Dom Prosper Guéranger
This is a translation and formatting of a late 18th century French text that describes the miracles and history surrounding the medal of St. Benedict.
(So please note, it will be written in a bit of a flowery verbose style, but I find it a charming relic of 18th century Benedictine spirituality)
It was compiled by Servant of God Dom Prosper Guéranger, who was a large figure in Benedictine spirituality, helping to revive practices following the French Revolution.
Guéranger’s compilation is one of the most easily accessible collection of Benedictine medal stories, though, not many “good” English translations exist.
Here I kept the style and flow of Guéranger, so it may read a little verbose - but it’s a great relic of Benedictine history of the time, as well as a great resource on Benedictine Medals and their lore.
