The Carmelite Rule of 1247 was based on the Formula of Life that Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem drew up for a gruop of Latin heremits on Mount Carmel. This book presents the Albert role of autor/editor to the text of the Formula of Life. The Carmelite Rule of 1247 was the Formula of Life that St Albert oj Jerusalem drew up for the Latin heremits on Mount Carmel sometime between 1206 and 1214. Since he drew up the document that prived the foundation for the Carmelite Rule, might seem obviouse that Albert was a significant influence in the formulation of the Carmelite way of life. In this book the author try to identify the princiapal difficulties that contemporary Carmelites face when they try to interpret the Rule and to make in their normative guide in the concret circomstances of their daily lives. Some of these issues are historical, such as clarifying the probable origins of the Latin heremits on Mount Carmel.
