| Abstract | In order to gain a full understanding of medieval monasticism, it is imperative not to limit oneself to the observation of the choir-monks of the most famous religious orders. Exploration of the customaries, constitutions, and rules of the multiple new regular communities that flowered in the high and late Middle Ages should also take place. This session focusses on some of these less well-known monastic communities, and issues related to the creation and content of their customaries. |
