Does anyone have any references/sources dealing with Muslim slaves in
Cistercian Houses, especially in the 12th century (the earlier the
better)? This was most common in Spain and Italy, but seems to have
occured in southern France as well.
Kedar touches on the subject briefly in "Crusade and Mission", but I
would like to delve deeper into it. It is a remarkable contradiction
in Cistercian spirituality and I wish to find out more.
Thanks for any help,
