	Siena Carthusian Monastery of Pontignano Siena Online ® Siena Tuscany tourist guide to the city of Siena Tuscany ...
		The Carthusian Monastery of Pontignano was built in 1343 by Bindo di Falcone, a Senese lord who accumulated substantial wealth from trading with the Papacy.
		Unlike the Carthusian monasteries of Belriguardo and Maggiano, built in 1314, the Pontignano monastery was to have a church as well as the cloisters, cells and other buildings necessary to house the friars and enable them to carry out their prayers in seclusion and peace.
		The layout of the monastery is typical of Carthusian monasteries, divided into three areas: a part for the brothers, one for the housing of converts and a third area for the church and refectory.

	The Carthusian Order
		In both orders the superiors were to be priors, not abbots, and in all the earliest Carthusian houses there was, as at Camaldoli, a "lower house" for lay brothers who served the external needs of the contemplative monks at the "upper house".
		The Carthusian wears the ordinary monastic habit in white serge, but the scapular which is joined by bands at the side and has the hood attached to it, is known as the "cowl".
		The fourth of May, 1535, is memorable for the deaths of the Protomartyrs of the English Reformation, the Bridgettine Monk Richard Reynolds, and the three Carthusian Priors, John Houghton of London, Robert Lawrence of Beauvale, and Augustus Webster of Axholme.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Carthusian Order

	The carthusian horse
		The worldwide population of popularly known as "closed" Carthusian horses is around one thousand specimens, including adult horses and mares; therefore, its ratio to the total number of Pure Breed Spanish horses (Pura Raza Española, P.R.E.), around 35.000, is approximately of 3%.
		Furthermore, the degree of Carthusian influence in the P.R.E. livestock is really high, up to 87%.
		Thus, farmers have never doubted that the Carthusian horse is the base for the maintenance and improvement of the P. E., in which it undoubtedly operates as a universal upgrader, to the point where we can assure that every stock has, in more or less proportion, Carthusian blood in its animals.

	Vatican - An Unprecedented Gathering - Catholic World Report - November 2000
		The Carthusians are celebrating the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Bruno, the founder of their order.
		This is the daily battle of the Carthusian: the fight to ward off distractions and extraneous impulses, and achieve what one elderly monk characterized as a “serene equilibrium” of the interior life.
		In that respect the witness of the Carthusians weighs heavily against those dissatisfied Catholics who complain that a rigorous traditional spirituality is incompatible with the message of the Council.

	Carthusian - Definition, explanation
		Carthusians are sometimes considered the highest order of the Catholic Church, in terms of strictness (this refers to the idea that one is only allowed to switch your religious order if you are going to one that is more strict, and the top being the Carthusians).
		The name 'Carthusian' is derived from Chartreuse, a French valley in the Alps which was where St Bruno built his first hermitage.
		There is a museum on the Carthusian order next to the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse; the monks of that monastery are also involved in the production of the Chartreuse liquor.

		The Carthusian is not a separate breed from the Andalusian, but is a distinct side branch of that breed and usually considered the purest strain remaining.
		Without the dedication of the Carthusian monks, the Zapata family, and a few other breeders who refused to cross their horses with other breeds, the purest line of Andalusion blood would have been lost to the world.
		Nearly all of the modern Carthusians are descended from the stallion Esclavo.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : The 'Silent' Summer of '44
		As a result, many came knocking at the Carthusian Charterhouse monastery door in search of a hideout until the Americans would finally arrive; the time was getting closer and liberation from the Nazi-fascist regime seemed to be right around the corner.
		Carthusian monastic life seemed out of sync with the world: found in each stone hermitage was a wood-turning lathe and each monk had his own little garden within the confines, entrusted to his care.
		He recalled the heroism of the Carthusians who were tortured by those SS who sneered at their faith.

	Carthusian Monastery of Valbonne - Saint Paulet de Caisson
		The Carthusian Monastery of Valbonne, inscribed on the list of historical monuments, was founded in 1204 by Guilhem de Vénéjan, bishop of Uzès, and rebuilt in the 17th century.
		After it was abandoned, it was bought in 1929 by the pastor Philadelphe Delord, who founded the Association for the Treatment of Victims of Tropical Diseases, and particularly for victims of leprosy.
		At present, the Carthusian Monastery of Valbonne has become a tourist site, offering tours of the monument, the forest, and its vineyard; it is also a place of residence, a cultural site, and a workplace.

	The English Carthusian Martyrs
		The Carthusians thought that they, as nonpolitical figures, would be exempted from taking an oath to this political decree, but the king wanted them to take it because they were so highly respected.
		Led by the Carthusian prior of London, John Houghton, the hermits agreed to take the oath only with the added proviso, "as far as the law of God permits." But that was not the end of the issue, as Prior Houghton well knew.
		Pope Leo XIII approved the title "blessed" for these 18 Carthusian martyrs, defenders of the papacy, along with the Bridgettine monk Richard Reynolds and the secular priest John Haile, who had died with Bl.

		While the members of the Carthusian family celebrate the ninth centenary of the death of their Founder, with them I give thanks to God who raised up in his Church the eminent and always relevant person, St Bruno.
		In the withdrawal of monasteries and in the solitude of the cells, patiently and silently, the Carthusians weave the nuptial garment of the Church, "prepared as a bride adorned for her husband" (Apoc 21,2).
		I invite the members of the Carthusian family, through the holiness and simplicity of their life, to remain like a city on a hilltop and like a light on a lampstand (cf.

	BBC - h2g2 - Carthusian Monks
		The life of a Carthusian monk is physically and materially very austere, and such austerity is reflected in the buildings of the monastery, whether it be the large church, the library stocked with many ancient tomes, the refectory, the cloisters or the monks' cells.
		The Carthusian lifestyle does seem to be conducive to health and longevity, and many monks go on to live to a ripe old age.
		The Carthusian monks had been the first martyrs of England's Anglican Reformation, too, and now at the turn of the 20th Century France enacted a law requiring them to renounce their vows in order to become 'useful citizens'.

	Virtually Silent Film about Carthusian Monks a Surprise Hit in Germany
		Carthusian spirituality is a rarity even among Catholic monastics.
		They do not talk to or interact with each other except for a brief period once a week; meals, manual labour, study and much of their prayer time is spent alone.
		The extreme asceticism of Carthusian spirituality has been altered very little since the order’s foundation in the 11th century.

	Order of Carthusians
		Carthusian life is governed by a constitution ("Statutes of the Carthusian Order") that has remained essentially unchanged for nearly a thousand years.
		These different forms of life are authentically Carthusian, living the Order’s charism of solitude, silence and prayer which St. Bruno started in 1084; together they help strengthen each other in their respective modes of life.
		It is fidelity to such charism that we hope to be of benefit to the Church and the world whom we have not abandoned in embracing a hidden life.

		The Carthusians have retained some liturgical customs from the Middle Ages, a time when those customs were not specific to the Order, but were popular and kept by many monastics, members of other Religious Orders, and the Secular clergy.
		For the Carthusian, it was prayed by the choir monk alone, in the cell, without vestments.
		Among Carthusians, it has always been prayed in the cell, i.e., alone, and it was generally attached to the end of hour of Prime or Terce of the daily Office of the Blessed Virgin.

	The Carthusian Martyrs of London
		Carthusian monks had been living just outside the walls of London since their Charterhouse of the Salutation of the Mother of God was founded in the late 1370s to pray for the souls of the thousands of Londoners who had perished in the Black Death plague.
		The London Carthusians were given a new prior whose task was to undermine the community.
		The lesson is that just as the Carthusians stood firm against Henry VIII, we have to stand firm against those legions of little King Henrys in today's Catholic Church who are planning their own little papacies in their own little domains.

		The inside was light, airy, and cheery; all natural wood with the typical little Carthusian stove and a large window overlooking a meadow.
		The first day at the consecration the Brothers prostrated as usual but I didn't think that I should since I wasn't a Carthusian, but later in the day I was gently told that I too should prostrate for a short interval before conventual Mass, for which the Brothers would move up next to the Fathers.
		Dinner was brought to the cell in the gamelle (a container traditionally used by the Carthusians for this purpose) which kept it warm.
