About this book

This volume examines the special connection between monasticism and nature. From the outset, monks looked for sites that marked the boundaries between nature and culture: deserts, mountains, and islands. The sea quickly took the place of the desert where the first months sought retreat. Thus, along with mountain monasteries, monastic islands are part of the foundation of Western monasticism, on which later generations of monks would build.

Reviews

"Obwohl hier nur ein Teil der im Abendland vorhandenen Inselklöster
erfasst ist, bildet das Werk einen ungemein informativen, durch neue Einsichten auch die Forschung fördernden
Beitrag zum allgemeineren Thema der Klosterstandorte." Ulrich Köpf in: Zeitschrift für bayerische Kirchengeschichte 89/2020, 109-114.
