Janet Burton's latest book was published by the University of York in its series Borthwick Texts and Studies.This is an edition of the Latin text of the foundation history of the Cistercian abbeys of Byland and Jervaulx, together with a facing page English translation and textual notes and commentary.It is the first modern edition and the first ever English translation of an important example of historical writing to come out of a British Cistercian house, and followed in the tradition set by the mother house of the order, Cîteaux itself, in recording its origins and history.Both Byland and its daughter house of Jervaulx were far from being conventional monastic foundations, but had turbulent histories that reflected the changing political and cultural circumstances in which they were established.
Janet's Burton's book, The Monastic Order in Yorkshire 1069-1215, was first published in hardback in 1999 and has now been reprinted as a paperback
