For fifty years, the journal Cîteaux:
commentarii cistercienses has made an important contribution to
the study of Cistercian history. Each year it offers readers a volume of approximately
400 octavo pages, usually in two double fascicles. Each
issue contains articles, shorter communications, book reviews, and brief
reports on historic sites today in a variety of languages (French, English,
German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch...) Articles include all periods of Cistercian history,
and all areas (art, archaeology, law, economy, liturgy, spirituality...)
Each article is followed by summaries in French, English, and German. Communications are shorter presentations, often concerning
recent discoveries, works-in-progress, or matters of scholarly detail. Critical reviews of new book keep readers abreast of
the lastest research in Cistercian studies. The Editorial Board meets twice a year to discuss
all the manuscript that have been submitted to the journal.
The Bulletin d'Histoire Cistercienne/ Cistercian
History Abstracts was published from 1987 to 1993. It consists of
an inventory of material of Cistercian interest drawn from almost 600
periodicals throughout the world, intended to provide a comprehensive
Cistercian bibliography. |
