This book offers the first comprehensive history of the order of Tiron. As a unique survey of the Tironensian experience it sheds new light on traditional assumptions of twelfth-century monastic history. Previous sketches have been shaped by the life of the founder, the Vita Bernardi, which depicts the forests of western France teeming with holy men, and that self-image of hermit preachers in the wilderness has been deeply influential in the historiography of twelfth-century reform. Drawing from the latest advances in the understanding of hagiography and institutional memory, Thompson reinterprets key sources to offer a valuable contribution to the history of monasticism. She outlines the rapid dissemination of the Tironensian approach in the first thirty years of its existence, its network of contacts with the lay elite and the impact on the Tironensians of the successes of the Cistercians and Mendicants.

In the Middle Ages, the very existence of Benedictine monasteries was based on their proclaimed isolation from the world, a tenet diametrically opposed to their means of subsistence. Indeed, in order to extract goods from society (oblates, food, protection…), abbeys had to provide tangible goods and services in exchange (political support, hospitality…); monasteries were deeply integrated into medieval society while claiming to be isolated from it. This paradox of monastic life is often referred to in the Ordenforschungen or study of the monastic orders, but it is rarely used when it comes to studying specific institutions. This book aims to test the validity of this theoretical framework against the reality as lived by the monks of the Abbey of St Peter of Lobbes (Hainault, Belgium), from its founding until the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. In particular, it analyses the interactions between the abbey and its political and economic environment. Im Mittelalter rechtfertigten die Benediktinerabteien ihre Existenz durch ihre Isolation von der Welt. Um zu überleben, mussten die Abteien der umgebenden Bevölkerung Waren oder Dienstleistungen abgewinnen (Oblaten, Nahrung, Schutz...) und dafür andere zur Verfügung stellen (politische Unterstützung, Gastfreundschaft...). Mittelalterliche Klöster waren daher tief in die Gesellschaft integriert, auch wenn sie vorgaben, von der Gesellschaft isoliert zu sein. Dieses Paradoxon des klösterlichen Lebens wird in den Ordensforschungen häufig erwähnt, viel seltener jedoch in den Arbeiten zu einzelnen Ordenseinrichtungen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, diesen theoretischen Rahmen mit der Realität zu konfrontieren, in der die Mönche der Abtei Saint-Pierre in Lobbes (Hennegau, Belgien) seit der Gründung dieses Klosters (7. Jh.) bis zum Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts gelebt haben. Konkret werden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Abtei und ihrem politischen und wirtschaftlichen Umfeld analysiert. Au Moyen Âge, les abbayes bénédictines justifiaient leur existence par leur isolement, prétention affirmée à travers, notamment, le topos du locus desertus montrant des saints fondateurs d’abbayes s’installer loin de toute civilisation. Or, pour subsister, les abbayes devaient retirer des biens ou des services de la société englobante (oblats, nourriture, protection…) et, en échange, en fournir d’autres (soutien politique, hospitalité…). Les monastères médiévaux étaient donc profondément intégrés dans la société tout en prétendant en être isolés. Ce paradoxe de la vie monastique est souvent utilisé dans les Ordensforschungen, bien plus rarement pour l’étude d’institutions spécifiques. Le présent ouvrage a pour objectif de confronter ce cadre théorique à la réalité vécue par les moines de l’abbaye Saint-Pierre de Lobbes (Hainaut, Belgique), du viie siècle, date de sa fondation, jusqu’à la fin du xive.
