  • Summary

    The Rule of Augustine, a composite formula for religious life, was one of the products of the multi-faceted religious reform movement in western Europe in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Part of its appeal to those wishing to live a religious life was its flexibility and adaptability to a variety of different types of community. The abbey of St Ruf Tripoli was a foundation of the long-established Augustinian community of St Ruf at Avignon, of which it functioned as a daughter-house. It is treated in a separate chapter because, uniquely among houses of canons regular in the Crusader States, it continued to be under the oversight of the mother-house in the West.

  • Summary

    This chapter shows that the twelfth and thirteenth centuries manifest an embarrassment of riches: the number, variety and development of monastic and religious orders in this period is overwhelming. It also discusses traditional Benedictine monasticism, and considers the changes that came in the twelfth century. The Cistercians were one of the great historical enterprises of Western monasticism. The Premonstratensians belongs to the family of Augustinian canons. In the Augustinian mould the Premonstratensians combined community life with a pastoral mission. The Cistercians were more positive in their dealings with the Templars. In 1119 Hugh de Payns, a knight from Champagne, organised his companions into soldier-monks. Their founder Bruno, a teacher at Cologne, was fascinated by the stories of the hermits of the desert in Late Antiquity. The foundation of the Franciscans and the Dominicans shortly after 1200 resulted from a new surge of religious feeling and desire for vita apostolica, in imitation of the lives of the apostles.
