Summary
At the beginning of the thirteenth century, Jacques de Vitry (d. 1240), regular canon and future bishop of Acre in Palestine, wrote a History of the Western World (Historia occidentalis). Here he states that “the renewal of the Western Church” could only happen “through the order of regulars or monasticism.” He then defines the regulars, simultaneously grouping them together while also distinguishing between regular canons and monks: “From the early times onwards there existed in the Western World two different kinds of regulars, namely the black monks following the Rule of St. Benedict and the white canons living according to the Rule of St. Augustine.” He mentions that they represented different institutions and different ways of life “but that they all had one and the same foundation, like a kind of cornerstone: they had to renounce the world, to have nothing of their own, to be obedient to their superior and to remain chaste.”
