Abstract

This article studies in particular the metaphors for monastic life (with three additional ones in the conclusion) presented by Honorius Augustodunensis in his brief treatise On the claustral life. To these are added metaphors of vegetative growth, cooling and heating, and fighting and military activity, which were also commonly applied to religious life in the Middle Ages.
