A comprehensive survey of the origins, development, and influence
of the most important monastic order in the middle ages. The men
and women that followed the sixth-century customs of Benedict of
Nursia (c.480-c.547) formed the most enduring, influential,
numerous and widespread religious order of the Latin middle ages.
Their liturgical practice, andtheir acquired taste for learning,
served as a model for the medieval church as a whole: while new
orders arose, they took some of their customs, and their observant
and spiritual outlook, from the Regula Benedicti. The Benedictines
may also be counted among the founders of medieval Europe. In many
regions of the continent they created, or consolidated, the first
Christian communities; they also directed the development of their
social organisation,economy, and environment, and exerted a
powerful influence on their emerging cultural and intellectual
trends. This book, the first comparative study of its kind, follows
the Benedictine Order over eleven centuries, from their early
diaspora to the challenge of continental reformation. JAMES G.
CLARK is Professor of History, University of Exeter.
