The monks of Cîteaux produced some of the most beautiful and enigmatic manuscripts of the twelfth century. This book interprets their function and the meaning of their illuminations as a group for the first time using the monastery's newly reformed liturgy and the literary works that surrounded it. "The cistercian reform and the art of the book in twelfth-century France" is a study of the programmatic oral performance of the written word and its impact on art and text. Communal singing and reading of the latin texts that formed the core of christian ritual and belief consumed manu hours of the benedictine monk's day. These texts - read and sung out loud, memorized, and copied into manuscripts - were often illustrated by the very same monks who participated in the choir liturgy. The meaning of these illustrations sometimes only becomes clear when they are read in the context of the texts these monks heard. The earliest manuscripts of Cîteaux, copied and illuminated at the same time that the new monastery's liturgy was being reformed, demonstrate the transformation of aural experience into visual and textual legacy.

"The miscellaneous corpus of texts commissioned by Bishop Gerard I of Cambrai (1012-1051) constitutes one of the primary means of accessing substantial parts of the Low Countries' political, cultural, and religious history in the early eleventh century. Encompassing historiography, hagiography, dogmatic treatises, correspondence, and other texts, it also constitutes a defense of episcopal prerogatives, and reflects Gerard's concerns and ambitions as bishop of Cambrai, an imperial bishopric wedged between Western Frankish territories, and lord of the Cambrésis. The programmatic nature of this discourse is revealed particularly in a group of seemingly unrelated narratives and documents, presented here in versions thought to best approximate those edited during Gerard's lifetime. In the 'Acts of the Synod of Arras', a lengthy treatise presented as the report of the inquisition of heretics in 1025, Gerard provided, via an anonymous author, a detailed insight into his views on Christian dogma, religious practice, and bishops' role in society. Although they belong to a different textual genre, the 'Lives of St Aubert and St Géry', both predecessors of Gerard at Cambrai, reveal the coherence and persistence of Gerard's views on the aforementioned subjects. Twelve miscellaneous documents (letters, treaties, and one Peace decree), each of which touches upon issues addressed in the three previous texts, complete the corpus."--Provided by the publisher.
