Silence and Sign Language in Medieval Monasticism: The Cluniac Tradition, c.900–1200 - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series
Bruce, Scott G. (University of Colorado, Boulder)
This book explores the rationales for religious silence in early medieval abbeys, and the use of sign language among monks when rules of silence forbade them from speaking. It provides a full-length study of the silent language of hand signs employed by the monks of the Abbey of Cluny in France.
