Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Les acheteurs peuvent généralement télécharger une copie gratuite scannée du livre original (sans les coquilles) auprès de l'éditeur. Non référencé. Non illustré. 1921 edition. Extrait: ...had to be confirmed by the Emperor. The salvation came through the regular clergy, who had more resolutely broken with the sinful world. § 2. The Regular Clergy: Cluny And Citeaux. The monks of the West had already fulfilled great tasks. They had tilled the land, they had spread the faith, and they had kept alive a flickering tradition of ancient culture. All the more spiritual and more orderly elements sought the cloister. Monasticism, like all other forms of life, received an extraordinary impetus from the Renaissance of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Although most of the Western monasteries followed the rule of Saint Benedict, each had an independent existence. But the need for federation was felt. Cluny. The communities were organized--at times not without resistance--into vast "congregations" or orders, under a single head. This movement originated at Cluny, in Burgundy, a Benedictine abbey created in 910. Under Peter the Venerable (1122-56), the Cluniac order counted 2,000 monasteries, and had become the chief ecclesiastical power in Christendom. Hildebrand (Gregory VII), who did so much to reform the Church, enforce celibacy, check the spread of simony, assert the independence, nay, the supremacy, of the spiritual power, sought his inspiration from Cluny, and found his mainstay in that great organization.1 Thus did the Benedictines of Cluny stand for Christianity in all its primitive austerity, although without any morbid asceticism. But to them also did success bring the taint of worldliness--wealth and ambition. The great church at Cluny was the largest in Christendom. The abbey could entertain, at the same time, Pope, King, and Emperor, with their several retinues....

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
