Description - Cluny from the Tenth to the Twelfth Centuries: Further Studies by Giles Constable
The articles in this volume deal with the history of the abbey of Cluny, both its relations with the outside world and its internal organization and spirituality, from its foundation in 910, until the end of the 12th century. After an opening article on the early history of Cluny, relating it to previous monasticism and the monastic world of teh 10th century, there are a group of articles on how monks were admitted to Cluny, how they were organized, what they did, and on the monastery's privileges. Two articles are concerned with Cluny's relations with the abbey of Baume and another with Cluny and the First Crusade. Finally, there are a group of articles on Cluny in the 12th century. One deals with the realtions between the abbots and the increasingly assertive townsmen of Cluny and the other with the confused period following the death of Peter the Venerable, when there was a series of relatively short-term abbots, and one apparent anti-abbot.
