Most of the essays gathered in this volume evolved from papers that were

delivered at a conference in the former charterhouse Our Lady of

Bethlehem in Roermond (1376). This conference was held on the occasion

of The Secret of Silence. The Hidden World of the Carthusians of

Roermond (27 March – 21 June 2009), an international exhibition that

explored the history and spirituality of the Carthusians, highlighting

the Order’s outstanding artworks now kept in public and private

collections. The current volume explores the history of the Carthusians

and their cultural and spiritual heritage in the Low Countries. It

presents Carthusian monasticism as a multidimensional phenomenon

requiring a multidisciplinary approach that explains the broader

historical dimension of the Carthusian Order in relation to its local

manifestations, cultural forms, and the centrality of its spirituality.
