A great deal has been written on the Augustinian canons in France, although very little work has been published in English on the subject. Marie-Dominique Chenu's article on "Monks, Clerics, and Laymen" in his Theology in the Twelfth Century would provide some background from a French perspective. See also Caroline Walker Bynum, "The Spirituality of Regular Canons," in her Jesus as Mother. If you read French, you should look at: Jean Becquet, Vie canoniale en France aux Xe-XIIe siecles (London, 1985)--his collected essays Le Monde des chanoines (XIe-XIVe s.), Cahiers de Fanjeaux, 24 (Toulouse, 1989)--on Augustinians in southern France Also a variety of articles by Charles Dereine on the liturgy of the canons regular at various houses in France--most of these appeared in Revue Benedictine in the 1940s and 1950s (sorry, don't have the exact references here). The most famous community of Augustinian canons was probably St-Victor of Paris. On this house, see Jean Longere, ed., L'abbaye parisienne de Saint-Victor au moyen age (Paris, 1991) Megan McLaughlin Associate Professor of History and Women's Studies University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 309 Gregory Hall, 810 S.
