Pope Siricius being bishop of Rome,¹ the first Monkish order began, raised up by Basilius Magnus bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Their coat, cloak, coal and cap were all white. He prescribed them a rule mixed with many traditions and doctrines of men. Wherefore he is called of them a father and beginner of religious people, whose life he also praiseth, so that he obtained of the aforesaid Siricius to confirm the order. He called them Monachi, that is to say, solitary, or separate from the world, and founded in Greece the first house or cloister. But how unaptly they be called Monachi, and men utterly divided from ⟨image 84⟩the world,² who seeth not? For where do they dwell, but in the midst of famous cities and great towns? And in what things do they more exercise themselves, than in matters of the world. In the year &c. 389. Ibidem. Ranulphus. Cestrensis.
