What is known of Scholastica derives from the ''Dialogues'' of Gregory the Great.<ref>Posa, Carmel. ''The Lost Dialogue of Gregory the Great : The Life of St. Scholastica''. 1st ed. Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2024</ref> Early calendars and place names in the area around Monte Cassino support the historical accuracy of St. Gregory the Great's account of her life.<ref>Beau, A., ''Le Culte et les reliques de Saint Benoît et de Sainte Scholastique'', Abadia de Montserrat/University of Virginia, (1979) {{ISBN|9788472023666}}</ref> Gregory names as his sources four of Benedict's contemporaries. A contemporary, [[Caesarius of Arles]], wrote the ''Regula virginum'' (Rule for Virgins), a rule drawn up for virgins living in community, for a community which was headed by his sister, Caesaria.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03135b.htm Shahan, Thomas.
