About the Book

Detailed study of monastic life of the English white canons, based on 15c visitation records. Monasteries were a dominant feature of the landscape of medieval England, but although much critical attention has been devoted to them, comparatively little has been written on the thirty abbeys of the English Premonstratensians[`White Canons'], a gap which this book, the first detailed study since the early 1950s, seeks to fill. Centred upon the remarkable visitation records of Richard Redman [d.1505], commissary-general and visitor of the English Premonstratensian abbeys, it covers topics such as the foundation and development of the English Premonstratensian province; Redman's visitation of the Premonstratensian abbeys; conventual food and clothing; misdemeanours, such as sexual immorality and apostasy; liturgical observances; spirituality and learning; and English Premonstratensian libraries. It thus offers evidence for the vitality of the English Premonstratensians, as well as re-evaluating their monastic observances.

Table of Contents:
The establishment of the Premonstratensians in England and the development of the "Provincia Angliae"; the visitation records of the late medieval English Premonstratensians; the visitation of England's Premonstratensian abbeys, c.1478-1500; the English Premonstratensian liturgy in the later middle ages; learning, spirituality and "Pastoralia" - English Premonstratensian manuscripts, books and libraries in the later middle ages; Richard Redman, O. Praem; conclusion - from cessation to dissolution. Appendices: the visitation itineraries of Richard Redman in Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 1519; maps of Redman's proposed visitation journeys, 1478, 1491 and 1500; English Premonstratensian visitations, 1458-1503; fornication among the English Premonstratensians, 1475-1500; the date of John Capgrave's "Life of St Norbert".

Review :
A valuable addition to a growing body of new research on the old monastic orders at the end of the middle ages. An important addition to the literature on the religious orders in the late middle ages. A useful volume. A work of meticulous scholarship that makes a valuable contribution to the subject. This new study is to be welcomed.... Gribbin's discussion...is persuasive and revealing.
