ISBN: 9783848000630 PUBLISHER: Ullmann Publishing FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 432 PUBLICATION DATE: 7.06.2012 DIMENSIONS: 23.4 x 32.4 x 3.6 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: How did the monks, nuns and hermits live? What rules did they agree to obey? To what extent were they able to uphold those ideals in reality? What was the relationship between the monasteries and wordly authorities? And what was the source of the power that the religious orders were able to exercise in political affairs at various times? Are the remarkable cultural accomplishments of the cloisters simply the fruits of great self-discipline, or did they also result from a privileged way of life? Who were the men and women who entered monasteries? Knowledgeable responses to these and many other questions, in conjunction with the opulent illustrations, make this an impressive volume that is destined to become a standard on the subject.
