medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thank you for this, Karl. I may have been a bit hasty in including a
chapter house in the St Gall plan. The east range there is marked as
the dormitory above, and the warming house below - no chapter house is
mentioned. While warming houses were common in the ground floor of east
ranges, however, they seldom took up even half the space. If a chapter
house is not marked explicitly on the St Gall plan, it may be because
the concept had not yet been formalized. However, I don't have Walter
Horn's book at hand to check the definitive study.
Cheers,
Jim
