Based on an international conference held at Downside Abbey in 1999, these 14 essays address various aspects of monastic education and educational practices in England, France, Germany and the Low Countries from the 8th to 16th century. More specifically they highlight the diversity in educational practices and discuss subjects which have not been well covered in other publications such as the role of music, liturgy, physical training and the importance of female, as well as male education.
