Monasticism was the dominant form of religious life both in the
medieval West and in the Byzantine world. Latin and Greek
Monasticism in the Crusader States explores the parallel histories
of monasticism in western and Byzantine traditions in the Near East
in the period c.1050-1300. Bernard Hamilton and Andrew Jotischky
follow the parallel histories of new Latin foundations alongside
the survival and revival of Greek Orthodox monastic life under
Crusader rule. Examining the involvement of monasteries in the
newly founded Crusader States, the institutional organization of
monasteries, the role of monastic life in shaping expressions of
piety, and the literary and cultural products of monasteries, this
meticulously researched survey will facilitate a new understanding
of indigenous religious institutions and culture in the Crusader
states.
