Daily  piety

Printed or manuscripted works, rules, sermons, breviaries, and homilies can be found on the shelves of the collection.

In French, Latin and any other language, they narrate the daily life of the smallest parishes and convents, but also of the main abbeys.

While the collection contains the history of the most striking personalities of Christendom and the lives of the most famous confessors, it does not forget the simplest of monks as the lay brothers.

Often unique, these documents constitute a rich and special perspective enabling a better understanding of how daily faith was lived in the past
