For David, and all those

who sailed against the Apocalypse

The estate of Walter M. Miller, Jr.,

would like to thank Terry Bisson

for his editorial contribution to

Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman.

NOTE

The fictional Rule of Saint Leibowitz is an adaptation of the Benedictine Rule to life in the Southwest Desert after the collapse of the Great Civilization, but it is true that the fictional monks of Leibowitz Abbey do not always conform to it as perfectly as did the monks of St. Benedict.

Permission was kindly given by the Liturgical Press, Collegeville Minnesota, to quote from the Leonard J. Doyle translation of St. Benedict’s Rule for Monasteries, Copyright 1948, by The Order of Saint Benedict.
