The English Benedictine Cathedral Priories offers a detailed study
of nine monastic communities. Joan Greatrex follows the lives of
the young men, only some of whom are known by name, from the day of
their arrival at the monastery to the moment of their death or
departure. The individual chapters provide the details that fill in
many of the gaps in the monastic biographies to be found in her
earlier work. The result is the first comparative study of the
implementation of the Benedictine Rule, and the daily routine,
observances, and customs practised by the nine priories, as well as
of the monks' progress through the successive stages of their
monastic life. The author exploits to the full the archiepiscopal
and episcopal registers, which record their official acts, in
addition to the monastic accounts of the monk office holders who
were responsible for the various departments within the monastery.
