The history of medieval learning has traditionally been studied as
a vertical transmission of knowledge from a master to one or
several disciples. Horizontal Learning in the High Middle Ages:
Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Transfer in Religious Communities centres on
the ways in which cohabiting peers learned and taught one another
in a dialectical process - how they acquired knowledge and skills,
but also how they developed concepts, beliefs, and adapted their
behaviour to suit the group: everything that could mold a person
into an efficient member of the community. This process of
'horizontal learning' emerges as an important aspect of the
medieval learning experience. Progressing beyond the view that high
medieval religious communities were closed, homogeneous, and fairly
stable social groups, the essays in this volume understand
communities as the product of a continuous process of education and
integration of new members. The authors explore how group members
learned from one another, and what this teaches us about learning
within the context of a high medieval community.
