Anyone for history?

Dr Deborah Vess is Professor of History/Interdisciplinary Studies at Georgia College & State University.  She teaches a course in Medieval Monasticism, which ”is a survey of the forms of religious life in the medieval west, and the major contributions of medieval monasticism to medieval and to modern culture.”  The website for the course is here, and includes pages on “Desert Hermits”, “Eastern Monasticism”, “Benedictine Monasticism”, “Irish Monasticism”, “Anglo-Saxon Monasticism”, “Merovingian and Carolingian Monasticism”, “Medieval Monastic Women”, and several others.  Each page contains links to all kinds of other fascinating and informative sites… a real treasure and a rich resource.  There are also links to contemporary monastic sites. 

Thank you, Dr Vess!
