Description
Most of the essays gathered in this volume evolved from papers that were
delivered at a conference in the former charterhouse Our Lady of
Bethlehem in Roermond (1376). This conference was held on the occasion
of The Secret of Silence. The Hidden World of the Carthusians of
Roermond (27 March - 21 June 2009), an international exhibition that
explored the history and spirituality of the Carthusians, highlighting
the Order's outstanding artworks now kept in public and private
collections. The current volume explores the history of the Carthusians
and their cultural and spiritual heritage in the Low Countries. It
presents Carthusian monasticism as a multidimensional phenomenon
requiring a multidisciplinary approach that explains the broader
historical dimension of the Carthusian Order in relation to its local
manifestations, cultural forms, and the centrality of its spirituality.
