Why this is in the register

A HOLLIS search for 'Regula consensoria monachorum' returns zero records, so the work is not indexed under its title in any edition or translation. It is printed in Migne among the Pseudo-Augustiniana and is in TEI in Corpus Corporum under 'Auctor incertus' (text idno 7830, 836 words, fetched HTTP 200). No English translation appears in the Augustinian translation corpus returned by HOLLIS searches for the Rule of St Augustine, which cover the Praeceptum, the Obiurgatio and the Regularis informatio but not this text.

A very short pseudo-Augustinian rule whose name points to the practice of monks consenting to a common observance, and which is cited in discussions of the earliest Western monastic profession. At 836 words it is one of the smallest untranslated texts in the whole Latin monastic corpus, and for that reason an easy and high-value item for a translation programme.
