Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mellifont Abbey, Co, Louth, Its Ruins and Associations: A Guide and Popular History Annex Introduction. In the following pages an attempt is made to describe the ruins of Mellifont as they now appear, and to explain the uses, or probable uses, that the buildings yet remaining must have served when the monks dwelt there. Obviously, some important structural alterations were made when changing the venerable Abbey into a fortified residence; nevertheless the ruins exhibit, on the whole, the characteristics of the primitive plan and style in which Mellifont, as well as all the Cistercian monasteries both in this country and on the Continent, were built. The explanation is founded on reliable authority, being gleaned from most authentic sources, such as, Les Monuments Primitifs de La Regie Cistercienne, which is a copy of the Rule drawn up by the Founders of the Order; the Monasticon Cisterciense; Violet Le Due; Juhainville, Etudes sur VEtat interieur des Abbayes Cisterciennes au XII. et au XIII. siecle; Meglinger, Iter Cisterciense; La Vie de Saint Bernard, by Vacandard, etc. As no Records, or Chronicles of Mellifont now exist, the historical part of the compilation has been derived from different sources, chiefly from our old Annals The Annals of the Four Masters; those of Boyle, of St. Marys Abbey, Dublin; Clyn and Douiing s;and of Clonmacnois; Wares Bishops, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
