Abstract

"This volume presents the composite character of the Cistercian Order in its unity and diversity, detailing the white monks' history from the Middle Ages to the present day. It charts the geographical spread of the Order from Burgundy to the peripheries of medieval Europe, examining key topics such as convents, liturgy, art, agriculture, spiritual life and education, providing an insight into Bernard of Clairvaux's life, work and sense of self, as well as the lives of other key Cistercian figures. This Companion offers an accessible synthesis of contemporary scholarship on the Order's interaction with the extramural world and its participation in, and contribution to, the cultural, economical and political climate of medieval Europe and beyond. The discussion contributes to the history of religious orders, and will be useful to those studying the twelfth-century renaissance, the apostolic movement and the role of religious life in medieval society"--

Abstract

"The Cistercian Order in Medieval Europe" offers an accessible and engaging history of the Order from its beginnings in the twelfth century through to the early sixteenth century. Unlike most other existing volumes on this subject it gives a nuanced analysis of the late medieval Cistercian experience as well as the early years of the Order. Jamroziak argues that the story of the Cistercian Order in the Middle Ages was not one of a 'Golden Age' followed by decline, nor was the true 'Cistercian spirit' exclusively embedded in the early texts to remain unchanged for centuries. Instead she shows how the Order functioned and changed over time as an international organisation, held together by a novel 'management system'; from Estonia in the east to Portugal in the west, and from Norway to Italy. The ability to adapt and respond to these very different social and economic conditions is what made the Cistercians so successful. This book drawns upon a wide range of primary sources, as well as scholarly literature in several languages, to explore the following key areas : the degree of centralisation versus local specificity ; how much the contact between monastic communities and lay people changed over time ; how the concept of reform was central to the medieval history of the Cistercian Order. This book will appeal to anyone interested in medieval history and the medieval church more generally as well as those with a particular interest in monasticism.

Abstract

Ce livre dresse l'état des recherches sur un ordre religieux singulier qui s'inscrit dans le mouvement général de réforme de l'Église médiévale. L'abbaye de Savigny est le seul chef d'ordre monastique fondé en Normandie. Elle se développe en France et dans les îles Britanniques, et en 1147 est incorporée à l'ordre cistercien. À partir de 1173, une nouvelle église sort de terre, en pierre et de dimensions exceptionnelles. Issus du colloque international de Cerisy (2012), ces actes reconsidèrent les sources archivistiques--
