| Summary: | This article is a discussion of the interaction between monks, nuns, and their secular kin in the monastic rules produced between the fifth and the eighth centuries, from Egypt to Cappadocia, Italy, Spain, as well as southern and northern Gaul. It begins with admission into the community and moves inwards from contact with one's kin outside the monastery to the relationship between family members inside the monastery. Though its results are preliminary, this survey demonstrates a significant amount of interaction between the monastery and the secular family, thus reaffirming the centrality of kinship to the monastic project. |
