The Research Center for the Comparative History of Religious Orders (FOVOG)

and the academic series „Vita regularis“ present:

Rete Vitae Religiosae Mediaevalis Studia Conectens.

The international research in the field of medieval monasteries and religious orders is hard to grasp, particularly since it is scattered in many individual research centres. Mostly one even fails to overlook the studies undertaken for a particular order, and this in spite of the fact that a comparative approach towards the history of medieval religious orders is still a desideratum even in modern research.

With RE.VI.RE.S. we hope to provide a helpful mean to solve this problem.

Online sources about the medieval vita religiosa are available

We would appreciate for corrections and further information.
