Die Bibliotheca Teubneriana, gegründet 1849, ist die weltweit älteste, traditionsreichste und umfangreichste Editionsreihe griechischer und lateinischer Literatur von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit. Pro Jahr erscheinen 4-5 neue Editionen. Sämtliche Ausgaben werden durch eine lateinische oder englische Praefatio ergänzt.

This edition offers a newly worked critical edition of the text of the Liber ad Renatum monachum, a didactic letter written in the 1st quarter of the 5th century on the correct lifestyle for monks. The letter is rhetorically ambitious and linguistically polished, combining satire, theology, and parainesis in the style of Hieronymus.
