Abstract
The Rule of the master shows numerous signs of Irish influence, as well as instances of Lombard-Latin vocabulary, suggesting that it was composed, not before Benedict, but at the Columbanian monastery of Bobbio in northern Italy in the seventh century. It also uses the term secundarius to mean a designated successor, a usage familiar from the Life of Alfred and comparable to the Irish tánaise ríg, confirming the antiquity of the concept and even suggesting that it may have been known as early as the time of Columbanus (†615).
