is there general agreement here with the reviewers' observation:
>....Within Coolman's extensive introduction, an irritating inaccuracy occurs.
In equating canons regular with "Augustinian canons" --the second term should
not be used for the Middle Ages without great care anyway-- he disregards that
communities of regular canons did not necessarily follow the rule of St.
Augustine from their beginnings. It is not until 1125, several years after
Hugh joined St. Victor in Paris, that the observance of the rule in the abbey
can be proved. [2]
