Robert D'Arbrissel Et La Vie Religieuse Dans L'Oeust de la France

To celebrate the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the monastery at Fontevraud in 1101 a colloquium was held where contributors presented papers on monasticism in western France, on Fontevraud itself and its founder Robert D'Arbrissel. These fifteen interdisciplinary papers are given here. Subjects include Gregorian reform and Robert D'Arbrissel; Fontevraud and the tradition of female monasticism: Marie, Jean, Madelaine, Lazare; the monuments of Fontevraud. French text.
