Hardcover, octavo, 224pp. Scattered, light spotting to endpapers and lightly toned upper text block edges; scuffed dustwrapper with light edgewear with chipping at corners. Very good with wrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Peter Levi's study of the history of monks and nuns over nearly 3000 years combines a deep and unconventional historical understanding with a personal account of contemplative ideals. He describes the astonishing variety of monastic tradition in both East and West from the founding fathers, the mystics and eccentrics to modern times, the witherings and the revivals, inspired leaders such as Benedict and Dunstan, sadhus and friars, and, especially, the glories of monastic art and architecture, letters and philosophy.
