Description
The first volume of this four-volume work focuses on the history of the five oldest Cistercian monasteries in Bohemia: Sedlec, Plasy, Pomuk, Hradiště nad Jizerou and Osek. It also introduces the origins and development of the order up to the 15th century, the organization of the Cistercian order, life in the monastery, Cistercian liturgy and architecture, and the order’s distinctive economic model. The arrival of the Cistercians in Bohemia is discussed separately. The text is supplemented by more than 150 black-and-white photographs. The publication first appeared in 2002 to mark the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Cistercian order. This second edition draws on additional archival research and has been substantially revised in light of developments in scholarship and current literature, particularly foreign-language sources.
