Synopsis

This volume is the result of the symposium 'Ordo pre ceteriscommendatus. Late Medieval Spiritual Renewal in the Low CountriesInfluenced by the Carthusian Order' (2008), organized byCartusiana. It includes four English papers, as well as three Dutchpapers with extensive English summaries. The papers explore Carthusianinfluences on institutional history, social networking, liturgy, reformist spirituality and book culture. The editors of this volume also haveorganized four sessions (2009-2012) touching on the same subjects at theInternational Medieval Conference in Leeds. The broad lines from thework-in-progress papers presented in Leeds, as well as the outcome ofthe question-and-answer sessions and discussions that were the result ofthe panels, have been transformed by the editors into two introductorypapers, in order to frame the other papers in this volume from a broaderhistorical perspective.

About this title

Review

"Each essay is workmanlike in execution and rich in intrinsically interesting insights. A Fish Out of Water offers a feast for hungrily curious scholars of late-medieval religious life..." --Dennis D. Martin, Loyola University Chicago, The Catholic Historical Review 101.4 (2015)
