Description
Summary:This impressive and richly detailed monograph essentially concerns the history over the centuries of two charterhouses situated in the remote and inhospitable terrain of the Hautes-Alpes. Durbon was founded in 1116 and continued until the French Revolution. A male community, it existed alongside, and often interacted with, the women's house of Bertaud; Bertaud's history began in 1188 but in 1446 a fire devastated it and left its site beyond restoration; the community eventually moved to Durbon but by 1601 it terminated with the death of its last nun. The two houses are comprehensively studied.
