Why monks? A good question. So many WWW pages seem to exist without purpose or reason. Being in a reactionary state of mind, I wanted to have a reason for my specialization. In the course of writing a book, I've had to learn a bit about monks, monasteries, abbots, cloisters, scriptoriums, and various other tidbits. Instead of letting all of my research hide between the pages of an unpublished work, I knew others interested in these communal fellows would benefit from an exposition such as this.

As I do more research, more will appear. And in due time I hope to amass a vast collection of information.

DISCLAIMER:

I do not claim any authority. As any experienced Web traveler knows, the information one finds is only as accurate and valid as the person who posts it. In other words, much of what one finds is slanted, misleading, or flat wrong. I have tried to compile information from reputable sources and cite those sources, if possible. If you have any doubts about the information, check it out!
