The Sacro Monte (Holy Mountain) at Varallo is a sanctuary in the Italian Alps west of Milan. It was founded in the late fifteenth century by a Franciscan friar, with the support of the town’s leading families. He designed it as a schematic replica of Jerusalem, to enable the faithful to make a virtual pilgrimage to the Holy City if they could not undertake the perilous journey to visit it physically. The Sacro Monte consists of a sequence of chapels containing tableaux of life-size painted terra-cotta figures with fresco backgrounds recounting the life and Passion of Christ. A century later, in the era of the Counter-Reformation, a ‘second wave’ of Sacri Monti was constructed in the north-western Alps, modelled on Varallo, but dedicated to other devotional themes, like the Rosary or the life of St Francis. All these sanctuaries, like Varallo, were the result of local initiatives, initiated by the clergy and the leaders of the communities where they were situated. Like Varallo, they were the work of artists and craftsmen from the alpine valleys, or from nearby Lombardy. Long dismissed as folk art unworthy of serious critical attention, the Sacri Monti are now recognised as monuments of unique artistic significance. In 2003 UNESCO listed nine of them in its register of World Heritage Sites. This book studies their development as the products of the religious sensibilities and the social, economic, and political conditions of the mountain communities that created them.

This interdisciplinary collection of essays, the proceedings of the 2017 Glenstal History Conference, examines the role of Regular Canons and Canonesses who followed the rule of St Augustine in Ireland from their emergence as an expression of the Vita Apostolica in the twelfth century through the dissolution of the monasteries in the Tudor period until their eventual disappearance in the early nineteenth century. Although the most numerous and widespread of all the religious orders in medieval Ireland, the Canonical movement has been relatively neglected in Irish monastic historiography. This volume combines the work of scholars of the history, archaeology and architecture of the movement with the research of others working on its cultural, economic, liturgical, intellectual and pastoral activities. Between them the contributors provide a fascinating insight on the Canons and Canonesses in Ireland while situating them in a broader European and ecclesial context

La règle de saint Benoît, réformée par Robert de Molesme, Étienne Harding et Bernard de Clairvaux à partir de la fin du XIe siècle, structure la journée du moine entre prière et travail. Fondée sur l'exploitation par les convers de l'immense patrimoine foncier, une économie puissante et multiforme se met en place au sein de laquelle l'industrie occupe une place essentielle qui participe des innovations technologiques du Moyen Age et de l'époque moderne. En témoignent les études monographiques consacrées aux forges monastiques, à l'énergie hydraulique, aux exploitations minières ou aux carreaux de pavement qui se sont développées au cours des cinquante dernières années. Ce colloque, le premier entièrement consacré à ce thème, aborde, à la faveur de sources archivistiques et archéologiques renouvelées, les questions des arts du feu (terre cuite, verre, métallurgie du fer et des non ferreux), des activités minières (sel, pierre, argent) et textiles. De l'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles à la péninsule ibérique, en passant par la France, les Pays-Bas et l'Europe de l'Est, les meilleurs spécialistes internationaux proposent études de sites, posters et synthèses régionales. Prolongement de cette activité séculaire, certains monastères maintiennent, aujourd'hui encore, une industrie cistercienne vivante. -- Quatrième de couverture

"Christian monasticism emerged in the Egyptian deserts in the fourth century AD. This introduction explores its origins and subsequent development and what it aimed to achieve, including the obstacles that it encountered, for the most part making use of the monks' own words as they are preserved (in Greek) primarily in the so-called Sayings of the Desert Fathers. Mainly focussing on monastic settlements in the Nitrian desert (especially at Scete), it asks how the monks prayed, ate, drank and slept, as well as how they discharged their obligations both to earn their own living by handiwork and to exercise hospitality. It also discusses the monks' degree of literacy, as well as women in the desert and Pachomius and his monasteries in Upper Egypt. Written in straightforward language, the book is accessible to all students and scholars, and anyone with a general interest in this important and fascinating phenomenon"--
