Monasteries were places of peace and order in the disturbed medieval society, organized round a routine of liturgy, work, study, and regular meetings, in which a man could spend his whole life.

This illustration on folio 73v of the Latin codex on the life of St Maur, depicts the death and funeral of a monk.
