Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States Hardback
by Bernard (University of Nottingham) Hamilton, Andrew (Royal Holloway, University of London) Jotischky
Hardback
Description
Monasticism was the dominant form of religious life both in the medieval West and in the Byzantine world.
Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States explores the parallel histories of monasticism in western and Byzantine traditions in the Near East in the period c.1050-1300.
Bernard Hamilton and Andrew Jotischky follow the parallel histories of new Latin foundations alongside the survival and revival of Greek Orthodox monastic life under Crusader rule.
Examining the involvement of monasteries in the newly founded Crusader States, the institutional organization of monasteries, the role of monastic life in shaping expressions of piety, and the literary and cultural products of monasteries, this meticulously researched survey will facilitate a new understanding of indigenous religious institutions and culture in the Crusader states.
