Abstract | This session marks the launch of the new Journal of Medieval Monastic Studies (Brepols). In order to emphasise the journal's wide chronological, thematic, disciplinary, and geographical range three members of its editorial board will here present new aspects of their work on medieval monasticism. The first paper looks at the earliest developments in western monasticism, considering monastic thought and ecclesiastical action in the 6th century. The second paper addresses the phase when monasticism appeared in Ireland as an essential institution of Christianity, and the third paper discusses evidence from Italian monasteries between the 11th and the 13th centuries with the aim of analysing the use of visions and dreams as means to regulate and control political conflict. |
