About This Book

A chronological account of the founding, growth, and daily life of a medieval community of canons regular on Mount St. Agnes, recording the establishment of the monastery and its chapel, the appointment and deaths of successive priors and brothers, episodes of poverty, providential provision, disease, exile under ecclesiastical interdict and eventual returns, liturgical dedications and consecrations of altars and burial grounds, and examples of monastic virtues such as obedience, humility, and communal care. The narrative interleaves administrative decisions, sacramental rites, and short biographical notices to trace the spiritual and institutional development of the house.

About the Author

Thomas, à Kempis portrait

à Kempis Thomas

Thomas à Kempis was a medieval theologian and author, best known for his spiritual classic "The Imitation of Christ." Born in the late 14th century in the region of the Low Countries, he was a member of the Augustinian order and spent much of his life in a monastery. His writings emphasize the importance of inner spirituality and personal devotion over external rituals. "The Imitation of Christ" has been widely regarded as one of the most influential works in Christian literature, guiding countless readers in their spiritual journeys. In addition to this seminal work, he also authored "The Chronicle of the Canons Regular of Mount St. Agnes," which reflects his deep commitment to monastic life.
