<note corresp="http://syriaca.org/nhsl" xml:lang="en" type="abstract" resp="http://syriaca.org">
A set of canons or admonitions directed at monks and ascribed to Rabbula in the manuscripts.
The canons aim at a rigid, rigorous and restrictive idea of monastic life to be led in the countryside. Admonitions 1,2 and 15 explicitly forbid entering the cities, except under well defined circumstances. Distrust of individual asceticism transpires especially from admonitions 5 and 6.

Overbeck published an edition of the longer recension in 1865, which was translated into English by R.H.Connoll in 1905. Arthur Vööbus’s 1960 critical edition (Syriac and Arabic Documents, 27–33), was based on nine manuscripts, including the three at the disposal of Overbeck (S. Ephraemi Syri, 210–11) which both designate with the the sigla: MS A = BL 14577; MS B = BL Add 14652; MS C = BL 14526 (shorter recension). The edition in Phenix and Horn 2017 reprints Vööbus edition with minor changes and a few notes.

Not to be confused with the <title>Canons for the Monk</title> attested only in MS Vat. Borg. Syr. 10 (fols. 106a-109a). Vööbus dated this collection to the sixth century, in view of the well-developed characterisation of monasticism in them. Thus the attribution to Rabbula attested in the manuscript is nowadays considered spurious, and the collection ascribed to “Pseudo-Rabbula”.
