had coloured glass in the windows of their own abbeys. His evidence is a 1159
ruling of the General Chapter: "Vitreae diversorum colorum ante
prohibitionem factae, infra triennium amoveantur."
i believe that there's been a *lot* of work on early cistercian glass
--archelogical, arthisterical and textual-- up with which i have
definetly *not* kept. thanks, John, for the interesting note; though it seems
to me that the removal of the "coloured" glass in question there would suggest
that, c.1139, the white guys definitely didn't want it in their house, at
least at that place.
or, am i missing/misreading the obvious? surely not.....
best from here,
