HOLLIS searches for 'Regula communis Fructuosus' and 'Fructuosus of Braga rule' return no English translation; the only recent edition is a Latin one ('Regula monastica communis', Turnhout: Brepols, 2025), and the translations that exist are the German EOS 2016 volume and the Spanish BAC 1971 volume, both of which print the Rule for Monks together with the Common Rule. No open electronic text was verified for this work, so none is recorded here. Andrew Fear's 'Lives of the Visigothic Fathers' (Translated Texts for Historians, 1997) translates the Life of Fructuosus only, not the rule.
The Common Rule is the constitutional document of the Galician monastic federation, the 'pactum' by which several houses bound themselves to one observance - one of the earliest Western experiments in monastic confederation and a direct forerunner of later congregation structures. No English translation exists and no open e-text could be verified, so a translator would have to work from the Brepols Latin text.
