THE WARDEN OF THE SICK
(CUSTOS INFIRMORUM)
Wala describes the warden of the sick succinctly, as the
official "who should look after the sick and his helpers."[54]
It is noteworthy that neither the Rule of St. Benedict nor
later monastic consuetudinaries refer to a physician's being
a member of the regular monastic hierarchy of officials.[55]
