摘要

Admont Abbey in Styria (today part of Austria) was a key reform site in the twelfth-century monastic movements. Featuring a men’s and a women’s house, the Benedictine “double monastery” attracted members mostly from the regional noble elites and was particularly famous for its spiritual and intellectual excellence in this period represented not least by its production of manuscripts, many of which have survived in Admont’s library. Together with extant letters and charters, they testify to the monks’ and nuns’ literacy and their collaboration with each other and within far-reaching networks of theological and spiritual exchange.
