| Summary: | This article studies in particular the metaphors for monastic life (with three additional ones in the conclusion) presented by Honorius Augustodunensis in his brief treatise On the claustral life. To these are added metaphors of vegetative growth, cooling and heating, and fighting and military activity, which were also commonly applied to religious life in the Middle Ages. L’article étudie en particulier les métaphores de la vie monastique (avec trois métaphores supplémentaires dans la conclusion) présentées par Honorius Augustodunensis dans son bref traité intitulé Sur la vie claustrale. À celles-ci s’ajoutent des métaphores sur la croissance des plantes, leur refroidissement et leur réchauffement, ainsi que sur les combats et activités guerrières, qui étaient aussi couramment appliquées à la vie religieuse au Moyen Âge. |
