The Carthusians and Camaldolese, just as other monks, lived within the borders of their symbolic death to the world ('entrance'/'ordination'), and biological death. Although lives of medieval hermit-monks were often invisible, available images were increasingly projections of exemplary reputations for strictness and holiness. A paradoxical relationship exists between the desire to remain within their enclosures and the reputation they enjoyed. Hermit-monks were famous for creating both material ('desertum') and spiritual borders.

«Lettura, meditazione, preghiera, contemplazione. Questa è la scala dei monaci, mediante la quale essi sono sollevati dalla terra al cielo». Così scriveva Guigo II, priore della Certosa di Grenoble, intorno agli ultimi anni del XII secolo. E questo continua ad essere l'esercizio d'ascesi a cui ogni monaco certosino è quotidianamente chiamato. Questo volume raccoglie i frutti spirituali di oltre nove secoli di contemplazione e li offre al lettore d'oggi alla ricerca di uno strumento di preghiera e meditazione.

Vor 700 Jahren stiftete der Mainzer Erzbischof Peter von Aspelt in seinem Testament das erste Kartäuserkloster im deutschen Sprachraum. Tagsüber beteten, arbeiteten und studierten die Mönche auf dem Michaelsberg vor den Toren von Mainz in ihren nach außen abgeschotteten Zellenhäusern, um nur zu den nächtlichen Gebetsstunden und an Sonntagen als Gemeinschaft zusammenzukommen. Allein das Medium Buch war ihr ständiger Begleiter.
