Abbots as guests of other abbots. A comparative analysis of the Benedictine world and religious orders between the 11th and 13th centuries

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The relationship between the abbots of the same monastic network represented a turning point for these institutional structures. This problem was evident during visits of abbots to other abbots, tied together in some way by legal relationships, and it manifested itself primarily with elements of ritual nature, aimed at regulating the chances of potential conflicts. The observation and comparative analysis of these elements, allows us to understand the change that took place in the religious life in the first half of the twelfth century, with the rise of the religious orders.
