Rhinoceros Bound: Cluny in the Tenth Century - The Middle Ages Series
Barbara H. Rosenwein
In the tenth century the great monastery at Cluny rose as a bulwark in the midst of social chaos. Within its walls emerged a model of restraint: the "rhinoceros bound." The author show how the instability of everyday life was replaced at Cluny with an interpretation of the Benedictine rule that stressed ritual, order, and lawfulness.
