Abstract:
The Augustinian canons are first documented in Ireland in the twelfth century and in this there is a clear parallel with the colonization in Ireland of the Cistercians. The houses of the canons range from large, wealthy establishments in population centres to small foundations in remote places, far from the haunts of men. This project examines the sites within their contexts, geographical, historical, archaeological, architectural and art historical in order to understand the diversity that defines them at every level. The study also compares the sites with the wider aesthetic and historical contexts of the canons in Britain and further afield.
