What reading level is Early Double Monasteries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gilbertof Sempringham in the C12 was a double one, and the only order whichactually had birth in England. It was, however, entirely lacking in thatintellectual activity which was a special feature of the earlier doublemonasteries, among both men and women, and which, from the secular pointof view, gave to the Anglo-Saxon nunneries a place not incomparable withthe women's colleges of the present day. The latest double monastery inEngland was that of S. Bridget of Sion, near Isleworth, on the Tha...mes.
Reference has been made only to the more important early doublemonasteries in England; but there are others which may or may not comeunder this category. Of these some are Whitern in Galloway, Carlisle, Caistor in Northamptonshire, Gloucester, Strenshall in Staffordshire, and Lyminge in Kent.
It is uncertain whether Bischofsheim, in Germany, under the abbessLioba, was a double monastery, but the arrangement is known to haveexisted in Germany in the C8 and later. There are also traces of them inItaly, and considerable evidence for the same sort of system in Spain, but time does not allow of dealing with them here.
