Carolingian monasticism has been the subject of much excellent scholarship in recent years especially of German origin, just like D. Geuenich, J. Semmler and J. Wollasch. This paper concerns the Rule of Benedict which had long been dominated in the Frankish kingdoms, from the 630s onwards it had often been combined with Columban's monastic rule, but gradually, was to gain supremacy within the Carolingian realm. Benedict of Aniane, the 'second Benedict', increasingly came to the foreground in the efforts to bind all monks and nuns to the Rule of Benedict and in so doing he became the mentor of young King Louis the Pious. When Louis became emperor in 814, Benedict was soon at his side as religious adviser, as an 'imperial abbot', who tried to root out older monastic traditions in the Carolingian realm, acting strictly and rigidly against communities that had lapsed into canonical life. The reform of older monastic life in the regulae mixtae not only to one rule, regula Benedicti, but also to a unified custom, una consuetudo, was called "Aniane Reform" in general. There is, however, no apparent explanation for meaning of 'Aniane', whether it means the region in Septimania or the person Benedict. So, first this paper tries to find out the meaning of "Aniane". Then we investigate the monastic community movement concerning with the reform movement of Benedict of Aniane.
