Overview

This new publication celebrates the 900th anniversary of the Clairvaux Abbey, a Cistercian monastery located in the Champagne region of France. It is published on the occasion of the restoration and opening to the public of sections of the Abbey and is the first publication on the artistic, economic and intellectual life at Clairvaux from the 12th to the 18th century. This title is in French. CLAIRVAUX. Il est aujourd hui difficile d imaginer ce que representait ce nom pour les hommes et les femmes du Moyen Age. L abbaye de Clairvaux, troisieme fille de Citeaux fondee en juin 1115 aux confins de la Champagne, connait rapidement un rayonnement extraordinaire dans tout l Occident medieval. Elle donne a la Chretiente plusieurs dizaines d abbayes de sa descendance, des milliers de moines blancs, des eveques et des cardinaux, un pape, Eugene III, et surtout un saint a la fois genereux et intransigeant: Bernard de Fontaine. Car le nom de Clairvaux peut difficilement etre separe de celui de Bernard. Lorsque le premier abbe disparait en 1153, la situation de l abbaye est florissante. Son apogee economique, politique et litteraire se situe entre 1200 et 1250, date a laquelle Clairvaux compte 339 filles directes et indirectes. Grace aux contributions des plus grands specialistes, ce livre fait revivre Clairvaux et l aventure cistercienne. Pour la premiere fois, les auteurs presentent les differentes periodes de l histoire de Clairvaux jusqu a sa confiscation sous la Revolution, l expulsion des derniers moines, et sa transformation en maison centrale de detention en 1811.
