This is an annotated translation of the classic Description de
l'abbaye de La Trappe, the most important eye-witness account of
life at the abbey of La Trappe under Armand-Jean de Rance. The work
includes a map showing the physical layout of the abbey and
detailed discussions of the monks' daily life and practice. It was
written by Andre Felibien des Avaux for Jeanne de Schomberg,
duchess of Liancourt, in 1671, with a new and enlarged edition
being published in 1689. That is the edition translated here, with
copious notes to help the reader appreciate Felibien's account.
