商品簡介
The white monks in Wales not only tapped into the strong popular eremetical and heroic element in the traditions of north and west Wales, but were also cultured men who often traveled abroad, to the annual Cistercian gathering at Citeaux, and elsewhere in Europe even to pursue litigation in the Roman curia. Welsh-educated historical geographer Robinson looks at 14 permanent abbeys established during the four centuries in terms of those two themes, examining the religious and architectural context, the abbey churches, and the monastic buildings. A catalogue of the sites is included. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
