About this book
Early Double Monasteries is a paper by Constance Stoney of Newnham College, Cambridge, read before the Heretics' Society on December 6th, 1914. The paper says the system of double monasteries, or monasteries for both men and women, is as old as that of Christian monasticism itself. The paper adds that the monastery was not mixed: men and women did not live or work together, and in many cases did not use the same Church.
The paper says that, with the exception of regulations concerning dress, both monks and nuns observed the same rule which S. Pachomius wrote for them. A rule described in the paper called for twelve prayers during the day, twelve at twilight, twelve at night, and a psalm at each meal. The paper says Hild reigned thirty years at Whitby and died after many years of suffering, during which she never failed to teach her flock, both in public and in private.
