But what of monasticism in Ireland during the intervening period? Regarded as different from ' mainstream' Anglo-Saxon and continental monasticism, monastic life in Ireland has not been fully understood in scholarly discussions about the existence of distinct ' monasticisms' throughout Christianity. The Irish sources, many written in the vernacular, are not accessible and are viewed as unconventional. The secularization of monasticism in Ireland has overshadowed evidence for a thriving lived monasticism. This major study concentrates on those men and women who followed a monastic life, especially between the tenth and thirteenth centuries, and who maintained a universal monastic ideology while incorporating monasticism into their own cultural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Courts Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595321098391,"sku":"9781801511179","price":7315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781801511179.webp?v=1774989338","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/monasticism-in-ireland-ad-900-1250-9781801511179","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
