This paper studies the use of demonstratives in St Benedict’s Rule at various levels (forms used, cases, use as a determiner and as a pronoun, syntactic functions), and relates it to other works and collections. The six classical units are conserved, distributed in a very irregular way in the text: is and hic are the most used of their series, while idem and iste are used in a very limited way. On the other hand, the syntactic function seems to play an important role when choosing one or another demonstrative form.
