Item description from seller

xxiv, 382 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm. Summary:"For centuries the growth of the Cistercian order has been presented as the result of a spontaneous spirituality that swept western Europe through the power of the first house at Citeaux. Berman suggests instead that the creation of the religious order was a collaborative activity, less driven by centralized institutions; its formation was intended to solve practical problems about monastic administration. With the publication of The Cistercian Evolution, for the first time the mechanisms are revealed by which the monks of Citeaux reshaped fact to build and administer one of the most powerful and influential religious order of the Middle Ages."--Jacket.
