Following the Council of Trent (1545-1563), Catholic religious orders underwent substantial reform. Nevertheless, on occasion monks and nuns had to be disciplined and--if they had committed a crime--punished. Consequently, many religious orders relied on sophisticated criminal law traditions that included torture, physical punishment, and prison sentences. Ulrich L. Lehner provides for the first time an overview of how monasteries in central Europe prosecuted crime and punished their members, and thus introduces a host of new questions for anyone interested in state-church relations, gender questions, the history of violence, or the development of modern monasticism.

Review
This is a very short book, but it is packed with information that is mostly quite unknown to general and even to monastic historians�-�for example, as to which orders' monasteries regularly had prisons and which (especially the Benedictines) did not. It seems that the Franciscans were especially severe on friars whom they considered delinquent.�Few books of much greater length than this one cast so much new light on their subject.--Derek Beales, University of Cambridge: Journal of Ecclesiastical History�
While this work is "impressionistic," rather than a detailed systematic analysis of large bodies of evidence, enough has been presented to warrant further research and scholarly attention. Lehner deserves gratitude for shining light on one of the darker corners of the Christian past.-- Kenneth Parker, University of St. Louis, Church History
''Lehner's brave, ambitious, and learned study uncovers the little-known history of secret monastic prisons for wayward monks and nuns, and the clandestine use of torture in monastic legal proceedings. . . . This is church history at its best. It deserves to be widely known and imitated.''
--H. C. Erik Midelfort, University of Virginia
''In this path-breaking, lucid book, Ulrich Lehner challenges conventional wisdom on the nature and purpose of prisons and punishment in early modern central Europe. Exploiting neglected evidence on monastic prisons and trial procedures, he demonstrates that the Mendicant orders continued medieval standards as the post-Tridentine religious adopted milder discipline. . . . A book of major significance, it will spur further research into our understanding of confinement and punishment.''
--Gregg Roeber, Pennsylvania State University
''Ulrich Lehner, who has become a master of all things Catholic in eighteenth-century Europe, here examines the sorry record of crime and punishment within selected European monasteries. His conclusion is persuasive--that moral failings of these institutions should not overwhelm other evidence of improved moral standards in the Tridentine Church. All who look for a fuller account of official Catholicism in the era whipsawed by both the Enlightenment and rising governmental absolutism will thank him for the careful research underlying this book.''
--Mark A. Noll, University of Notre Dame --Wipf and Stock Publishers

By Jeff
Ulrich L. Lehner has provided historians and theologians with a lucid and engaging account of an oft neglected facet of the "inner life of early modern Catholic monasticism" -- a penal system operated by and for members of Catholic monasteries. Dr. Lehner's short and spirited monograph reveals the increasingly complex entanglement of canon law with the judicial practices of the early modern state, especially during the eighteenth-century heyday of Enlightened Absolutism. The book also spotlights the lengths to which church leaders would go in protecting monastic traditions of corporate judicial autonomy while seeking to eschew scandal within the nascent eighteenth-century public opinion.
Dr. Lehner adroitly recovers a topic that has been too long neglected by scholars and Catholics alike, while deftly and skillfully demonstrating "that monastic prisons and trial procedures were a complex part of cloistered life that shaped the dynamics of monasticism between the Reformation and the Enlightenment (p. 3-4)." This foundational argument unfolds throughout a series of thematic essays, each of which affords the reader with a valuable component of Lehner's thesis. Yet, these chapters might just as well stand alone as essays suitable for general readers, scholars, graduate, and undergraduate students alike. The book first addresses the diversity of the monastic penal system as it evolved after the Council of Trent in a way that remains attentive to the diversity of this evolution throughout various orders and gendered monastic communities of early Modern Europe. Subsequent chapters deliver thorough and engaging descriptions of the nature of the monastic prisons themselves, as well as the criminal procedures utilized by monasteries (in particular the Franciscans). His final three substantive chapters provide insightful commentary on how monastic penal systems addressedspecific offenses. Of greatest interest to many readers will be the chapters of Dr. Lehner's book which deal with how convents addressed assault and assassination attempts in female monastic communities, and no less, how monastic authorities prosecuted "fornication and child abuse."
This book's laudable brevity and generally direct and engaging prose buttresses as well as belies its greatest strength -- the fact that it thoroughly grounded in an impressive amount of archival research anchored in solid and significant works of scholarship concerning early modern Catholicism and European History. Dr. Lehner's archival research has taken him (and with him, his readers) on a wide-ranging tour de force through thirteen archives in Germany, at least two in Austria, and one in Poland. The ensemble of Ulrich Lehner's narrative tends toward a timely and important conclusion about impact of monastic prisons on Catholic Reform and Enlightenment in the eighteenth-century and beyond -- that a thoroughly nuanced portrait of early modern (and by perhaps by implication, modern) Catholic renewal "has to take into consideration the moral failings of, and crimes committed by, monks and nuns (90)."

Fascinating book on a neglected topic
By J. VanVleet
Dr. Lehner has provided a captivating and painstakingly researched book on the formation and practices of punishment in central European monasteries from 1600-1800. Rich with footnotes and scholarly references, this will surely enlighten anyone who carefully reads it. As far as I know, this is one of the only (perhaps the only) book of its kind written in the English language. Absolutely fascinating.
