Does anyone know of good secondary literature on the cult of
John the Baptist before the twelfth century? I am trying to find out
whether there exists evidence that he was considered a founder of
monasticism (there is an allusion to this in Isidore of Seville's
*De ecclesiasticis officiis*) and whether his cult was particularly
important to monastic communities.
