Benedictines Celtic Monasteries- Most common form in
Europe- Based on writings of
Benedict of Nursia (Italy 500s)
- Benedictine Rule- Benedict was first abbot,
or leader- Vows of poverty and
obedience- Prayer and labor- Farm work and copying
manuscripts (preserved knowledge of Greece and Rome)
- No central authority; each monastery run by abbot chosen by the monks or by a noble (independent)
- Monks ran schools- Centers of wealth and
power, as kings and nobles donated money or gifts in exchange for prayers
- Wealth led monasteries to become involved in politics as advisers and aides
- Ireland- More severe than
Benedictines- Long fasts and spent days in
solitary contemplation- Monasteries built on small
islands far offshore to separate monks from society (stay focused on faith)
- Led by abbots- Celtic abbots had more
power than Benedictine abbots
- Lindisfarne monastery - Scholars, ran schools- Active missionaries- Spread Christianity to British
Isles, France and Germany
