| Summary: | By the end of the twelfth century the scholar Eberhard had become a brother in the Premonstratensian abbey of Arnstein. After studying at one of the cathedral schools in northern France, he had eventually become interested in the new reform movements of the twelfth century. With him and his manuscript collection a great deal of modern scientific knowledge arrived at Arnstein. A series of mysterious scientific diagrams added to the splendid Arnstein Bible (London, British Library, Harley 2799) shows an integration of this knowledge into the religious everyday life of the abbey. The paper reveals the programme underlying these diagrams: they brought together both scientific renewal and monastic reform by introducing scholastic sciences into a monastic framework. |
