Description: Revised version of the author's thesis (doctoral)--Universit'at Heidelberg, 2000.
Review Quotes: "Review - English ""Andrea Fleischer's ""Zisterzienserabt und Skriptorium"" presents a case study of the Cistercian abby in Salem (...). Although the work reads more like a collection of essays than a coherent monograph, each section is well researched and written, with detailed bibliography and substantiated arguments. At the outset it should be noted that the book itself is beautifully produced, with a gold-embossed red cloth binding, a color plate on the front cover, and many black-and-white-images at the back. It is unfortunate that the subtitle does not appear on the cover or spine, however, because the primary title gives the impression that the book is a general study of Cistercian book production instead of a case study of a specific abbey. (...)Fleischer's work is a model study of a single scriptorium that also demonstrates the importance of historical and geographical context. ""Zisterzienserabt und Skriptorium"" adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating that medieval abbeys and their scriptoria were strongly influenced not inly by the customs and demands if their orders but also by their relationships with nearby abbeys, regardless of monastic affiliation.""In: Speculum.
