Citeaux (Commentarii cistercienses)
Cîteaux (Commentarii cistercienses) is an international magazine on the history of the Cistercian order . It includes contributions to literature, art, architecture and archeology as well as to liturgy, music, law and basically everything that is related to the order. It usually appears twice a year; Articles are mainly written in French, English or German. Many of the articles go back to meetings at the annual International Medieval Congress in Leeds . Book reviews of works relevant to Cistercian history are also part of the journal.
The magazine was founded in the Netherlands in the late 1940s and first appeared as an internal newsletter under the title "Cîteaux in de Nederlanden". A study group of historians worked on an expansion of these communications so that the sheet could be converted into a printed journal in 1951. The magazine has been published under the current title Cîteaux - Commentarii cistercienses since 1959 and has become multilingual. In addition to the magazine, Cîteaux also publishes two series of publications called Studia et Documenta and Textes et Documents .
Cîteaux is internationally recognized as a leading academic periodical of Cistercian studies - the current editor-in-chief is Terryl Nancy Kinder, who has been researching the Order of Cîteaux since her doctorate in art history in 1982.
