This second selection of articles by Dom Jacques Dubois complements that previously published by Variorum Histoire monastique en France au XIIe si?cle: Les institutions monastiques et leur ?volution. It looks first at the place occupied by monks in medieval society as seen by their contemporaries then considers the respective importance of work and prayer in the daily life of their communities. Finally two major studies on the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel which remain to this day models of research examine priories and the significance of the cult of relics and monastic treasuries for the monks of the Middle Ages.
