A rule of life drawn up in ancient times for canons and other clergy, especially cathedral assistants, living in community life, and so intermediate between the monastic and the ordinary secular clergy. Later many of these communities became canons regular following the Rule of Saint Augustine, who introduced this community life into his episcopal household.
