This volume offers translations of the twelfth-century Latin vitae of fourmonks of the Monastery of Savigny: Abbot Vitalis, Abbot Godfrey, Peter ofAvranches, and Blessed Hamo. Founded in 1113 by Vitalis of Mortain, aninfl uential hermit-preacher, Savigny expanded to a congregation of thirtymonasteries under his successor Godfrey (1122-1138). In 1147, the entirecongregation joined the Cistercian Order. Around 1172, two monks ofSavigny, Peter of Avranches and Hamo, friends but very different personalities,died. Their stories were told in two further vitae.The vitae of these four men exemplify the variety of people and movementsfound in the monastic ferment of the twelfth century.
