Detailed study of monastic life of the English white canons, based
on 15c visitation records. Monasteries were a dominant feature of
the landscape of medieval England, but although much critical
attention has been devoted to them, comparatively little has been
written on the thirty abbeys of the English
Premonstratensians[`White Canons'], a gap which this book, the
first detailed study since the early 1950s, seeks to fill. Centred
upon the remarkable visitation records of Richard Redman [d.1505],
commissary-general and visitor of the English Premonstratensian
abbeys, it covers topics such as the foundation and development of
the English Premonstratensian province; Redman's visitation of the
Premonstratensian abbeys; conventual food and clothing;
misdemeanours, such as sexual immorality and apostasy; liturgical
observances; spirituality and learning; and English
Premonstratensian libraries. It thus offers evidence for the
vitality of the English Premonstratensians, as well as
re-evaluating their monastic observances.
