The Cistercian Evolution: The Invention of a Religious Order in Twelfth-Century EuropeUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 3 de ago. de 2010 - 408 páginas According to the received history, the Cistercian order was founded in Cîteaux, France, in 1098 by a group of Benedictine monks who wished for a stricter community. They sought a monastic life that called for extreme asceticism, rejection of feudal revenues, and manual labor for monks. Their third leader, Stephen Harding, issued a constitution, the Carta Caritatis, that called for the uniformity of custom in all Cistercian monasteries and the establishment of an annual general chapter meeting at Cîteaux. |
