Dictionary of Cistercian Saints
In cooperation between the Research Center for Comparative History of Religious Orders (FOVOG) in Dresden and the European Institute for Cistercian Studies (EUCist) at the Benedict XVI Philosophical-Theological University in Heiligenkreuz (near Vienna), a “Dictionary of Cistercian Saints” is being compiled as a directory of all members—in Cistercian communities (Cistercian nuns and monks, Trappist nuns and monks, Feuillantes and Feuillants) from their origins to the present day.
The goal is to provide, for the first time, a scholarly overview of the women and men who have been venerated as saints in these orders and to compile the relevant information in a handbook-style volume. The publication will be in English.
