This volume presents the composite character of the Cistercian
Order in its unity and diversity, detailing the white monks'
history from the Middle Ages to the present day. It charts the
geographical spread of the Order from Burgundy to the peripheries
of medieval Europe, examining key topics such as convents, liturgy,
art, agriculture, spiritual life and education, providing an
insight into Bernard of Clairvaux's life, work and sense of self,
as well as the lives of other key Cistercian figures. This
Companion offers an accessible synthesis of contemporary
scholarship on the Order's interaction with the extramural world
and its participation in, and contribution to, the cultural,
economical and political climate of medieval Europe and beyond. The
discussion contributes to the history of religious orders, and will
be useful to those studying the twelfth-century renaissance, the
apostolic movement and the role of religious life in medieval
society.
