The book challenges the common understanding of education as the transmission of knowledge via a hierarchical master-disciple learning model and shows how knowledge was also shared, exchanged, jointly processed and developed. Long presents a new and more complicated picture of reciprocal knowledge exchanges, which could be horizontal and bottom-up as well as vertical, and where the same individuals could assume different educational roles depending on the specific circumstances and on the learning contents.Education and society in the Middle Ages and Renaissance ;Volume 58.Monastic and religious lifeEurope, WesternHistoryMiddle Ages, 600-1500Learning and scholarshipHistoryMedieval, 500-1500Monastic and religious lifeHistoryLearning and scholarshipHistory271.00902Long Micol620713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795655403321Learning as shared practice in monastic communities, 1070-11803756737UNINA
