Exploring the rationale behind religious silence in early medieval abbeys, this book delves into the nonverbal communication methods used by monks, particularly at the Abbey of Cluny. It highlights how these monks developed a unique system of hand signs to convey specific meanings while adhering to silence. The text examines the spiritual advantages of silence, the training of novices in this silent language, and the precautions against its misuse. Additionally, it discusses the spread of this practice across Europe, leading to various regional adaptations.
