Abstract

On this paper the author analyses and discusses some relevant issues concerning Portuguese Medieval monastic history, namely (a) the structure and organisation of the Religious Orders established in the territory through the assessment of documents produced; (b) the structure and lifestyle of the Augustinian canons living in the country at the time of Saint Anthony of Lisbon (1190-1231), concluding with (c) an outline of the role played by books and readings in the daily lives of some of these monastic communities.
