Abstract	This is the third of a series of three sessions which will challenge and explore the traditional notion of rigid boundaries between different forms of the religious life between circa 400 and 1300. Focussing on the period between circa 1150 and 1300, papers in this session will investigate the permeable and fluid nature of these boundaries in three different ways. The first paper addresses the normative framework which regulated the transfer of monks between monasteries; the second shows how monastic networks fostered the circulation of monks and manuscripts, and the third address contemporary perceptions of new forms of religious life in the 12th and 13th century.
