Summary:

At the heart of the various articles in this book are four customaries, compiled over the course of nearly a hundred years beginning at the end of the tenth century, that describe daily life and liturgy at the abbey of Cluny. Two principal objectives motivated the creation of the present volume of essays: to bring out the unequaled richness of these monastic customaries for scholars in all disciplines and to facilitate the use of these sources, which can be challenging at first sight.
