Edition
First soft cover edition.
Notes
Soft cover with dust jacket; this text was used as the basis for the rare English language booklet titled The Camaldolese Way (1957). It appears that The Silent Life (1957) was translated into French as Vita Nel Silenzio and then from the French portions were used and adapted to create the English text for The Camoldolese Way.

Leather bound (no dust jacket as issued); as stated on the page opposite the foreword by Evelyn Waugh: "This Limited de Luxe Edition is published by special arrangement with Hollis & Carter, Ltd., London, and appears simultaneously with their first edition.

Also states, "Fifty copies 1 to 50, are available to members of The Collectors Book Club only." This is copy #47 (therefore one of the 50 Collectors Book Club editions).

Edition
First hard cover de luxe presentation edition - #IV of V. Short Title: Waters of Silence - limited deluxe presentation edition
Notes
Leather, no jacket (as issued). A very rare book - the "Limited de Luxe Edition is published by special arrangement with Messrs. Hollis & Carter, Ltd., and appears simultaneously with their first edition." 120 copies of the deluxe edition were printed (of which 50 copies were for Book Club members only) plus an additional 5 copies , numbered I to V , were struck off as presentation and reference copies. This is one of those presentation copies (number IV). It could be argued that this is the rarest Merton publications with only 5 copies printed in total.

Notes
Original mimeograph. Although this item was not written by Merton it came as a part of a group of over 30 original Merton mimeographs and offprints purchased from Merton bookdealer Jeannette Cantrell who received them from monk of Gethsemani Tom Zele. This group of items were obtained by Zele during the 1960s while living alongside Merton at the monastery. It is likely that it was at least selected by Merton, noting the content and that it was a part of a larger group of Merton mimeographs.
