The rich literary tradition that arose from this culture includes theoretical writings from the Conferences of John Cassian (fifth century) through the twelfth-century treatises of Hugh of St. Victor and the Carthusian Guigo II; it also includes compilations, literary meditations, and scriptural commentary, notably on the Song of Songs. This study brings medievalist research together with modern theoretical reflections on the act of reading in a consolidation of historical scholarship, spirituality, and literary criticism. --Publisher description. 410 0$aCistercian studies series ;$vno. 238. 606 $aMeditation$xChristianity$xHistory 606 $aBooks and reading$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory$yTo 1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMeditation$xChristianity$xHistory. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory 676 $a248.309/02 700 $aRobertson$b Duncan$0763201 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480341803321 996 $aLectio Divina$92458204 997 $aUNINA
