Abstract
The Carthusian Order established by St Bruno of Cologne (died 1101) in La Grande Chartreuse (Latin: Carthusia), France, belongs to communities that in their charisma combine cenobitic and eremitical life. The rule of the Order, called Consuetudines Cartusiae, was written by the fifth prior of the Chartreuse Guiges II (died about 1188) after St Bruno had already died. Due to the fact that the first monastic community was founded in the area of the Grenoble Diocese, Carthusians took over many liturgical customs known in Lyon. However, taking into consideration the unchanging specific character of the order, a liturgical autonomy going back to the Middle Ages has been preserved for centuries.
