Cet ouvrage est l'édition d’un document exceptionnel, le plus ancien nécrologe de la Grande Chartreuse, constitué sur la base d’un calendrier pour l’essentiel antérieur à 1134. À travers les noms des défunts inscrits depuis la confection du calendrier jusqu’au XIVe siècle, il est possible d’aborder les temps les plus anciens de l’établissement, depuis l’époque de sa fondation par « maître Bruno », inscrit au 6 octobre.

On Wednesday 8 July 2015, the Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference, hosted in Brussels, will feature a Carthusian session, entitled Music and Liturgy in the Carthusian Order (c. 1100-1500).

The Carthusian monks at San Martino began a series of decorative campaigns in the 1580s that continued until 1757, transforming the church of their monastery, the Certosa di San Martino, into a jewel of marble revetment, painting, and sculpture. The aesthetics of the church generate a jarring moral conflict: few religious orders honored the ideals of poverty and simplicity so ardently yet decorated so sumptuously. In this study, Nick Napoli explores the terms of this conflict and of how it sought resolution amidst the social and economic realities and the political and religious culture of early modern Naples.

The Carthusian monks perceive silence and solitude as ideals, the source of their happiness and their way towards God. When Silence Speaks is an accessible and remarkable history of the Carthusian Order that traces the inception of the movement from the letters of its founder, Saint Bruno, the writings of Denis the Carthusian, through to the present day. It has been written for all readers who are fascinated with the Carthusian way of life.
