| Summary: | Cîteaux Abbey was almost completely destroyed between the French Revolution and the installation of Father Joseph Rey’s penal agricultural colony in 1846. All that remains of the medieval monastery is the gallery of the small cloister, dating from the 13th century, surmounted by the library, built in 1509. First of all, we propose to take stock of our knowledge of the medieval buildings by re-examining the archaeological, iconographic and charter data. Then we evoke the new information brought by our rereading of sources usually little studied, such as the account books, the catalogue of manuscripts drawn up in 1480-1482 or the prefaces of cartulary. We concentrate our remarks mainly on the cloister squares, highlighting in particular the four repositories of documents and objects : the armarium, the sacristy, the treasury and the archives. |
