What it is
The consolidated law of the Carthusian order, codifying the customs of two and a half centuries into a single body of statutes.
Why it lasted
The legal form of the order that produced more spiritual literature per head than any other, and whose houses were the chief copyists of it.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
