Abstract | Research has brought to light extensive information concerning many details of Cistercian life, but the non-material practice of information transmission will be the object of this session: exchanges between monks and abbots, and the men's interaction with female Cistercians and their abbeys; the annual General Chapter at Cîteaux as well as yearly visitations to each abbey; how the dissemination of exempla stories can suggest means of transmission over a wide area; and the role of Henry, Cardinal Bishop of Albano and former abbot of Clairvaux, in his letters, sermons, and main work on crusading ventures as temporal pilgrim communities. |
