> at the abbey church of Altenberg...There are several piscinas, which are
still near the altar in the choir.
> In the Cistercian abbey of Heilsbronn more than 10 Piscinas still exist.
Each of them has got two small basins.
> In the Cistercian abbey church of Schulpforta there is
only one piscine in the choir. It also has two small basins.
the first ones i remember seeing were in the marvelous late 12th c. choir
chapels of Pontigny --doubles, i believe.
did the Cistercians have a special liking for them or were they (as i gather
from this thread) a very general --if not necessarily universal--
requirement?
