Description

The Text and the World concerns one highly specific place and document-a medieval Cistercian monastery, and its remarkably interesting history, compiled at the monastery itself, for the monks' use-and explores several subjects now of great interest to all medieval historians, such as ethnicity and interethnic relations; comparative power and lordship; legal conflict; collective memory; and the expansion of literacy in the late-thirteenth century.
