This volume is a multidisciplinary approach to Byzantine religious and social customs related to monastic entry and life. It aims to explain certain little understood aspects of the history of liturgical ritual and the history of social practices, such as the terminology used to describe the stages of monastic life, the origin of the small monastic habit, and the introduction of tonsure among the practices signifying entry to the monastery. The research is based on the distinction between two quite different monastic traditions, originating in Jerusalem and Constantinople, respectively. Their coexistence without conflict allows us to see the history of the practices studied as a “tale of two cities,” a term already used by R. Taft in a strictly liturgical context, but not yet applied to monastic life.
Le livre est une approche multidisciplinaire des coutumes religieuses et sociales byzantines en lien avec l’entree au monastere et la profession monastique. L’etude se propose d’expliquer certains aspects peu compris de l’histoire du rituel liturgique ou de l’histoire des pratiques sociales, comme la terminologie utilisee pour decrire les etapes de la vie monastique, l’origine du petit habit monastique et l’introduction de la tonsure parmi les pratiques utilisees a l’entree au monastere. La recherche est fondee sur la distinction entre deux traditions monastiques assez differentes, provenant de Jerusalem et Constantinople. Leur coexistence sans conflit nous permet de voir l’histoire des pratiques etudiees comme un “conte de deux cites”, terme deja utilise par R. Taft dans un contexte strictement liturgique, mais pas encore applique a la vie monastique.
