Churches and Churchmen in Medieval Europe, Hardback Book

Churches and Churchmen in Medieval Europe Hardback

Hardback

Description

Considers many facets of the medieval church, dealing with institutions, buildings, personalities and literature.

The text explores the origins of the diocese and the parish, the history of the See of Hereford and of York Minster.

It discusses the arrival of the archdeacon, the Normans as cathedral builders and the kings of England and Scotland as monastic patrons.

The studies of monastic life deal with the European question of monastic vocation and with St Bernard's part in the sensational expansion of the early 12th century.

An epilogue takes us to the 14th century, contrasting Chaucer's parson with an actual Norfolk rector.
