Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book presents a critique of Dr. Abbot Gasquet's "Henry VIII and the English Monasteries," which defended the reputations and moral standards of medieval monks and nuns. The author presents evidence from episcopal visitations and other contemporary records to challenge Gasquet's claims of monastic innocence. The book argues that, far from being slandered by Protestant reformers, the monks and nuns of the time were often guilty of serious moral offenses. The author supports this with accounts of embezzlement, fornication, drunkenness, and other crimes committed by members of religious orders. The book delves into the broader context of medieval monasticism, contrasting the idealized vision of monastic life with the often harsh realities faced by those who lived it. It explores the reasons for the moral decline of the monasteries, including the relaxation of discipline and the widespread practice of simony. By challenging the traditional narrative of monastic virtue, this book sheds new light on the complex and often contradictory nature of medieval religious life.
