The historical research into the monks from Vallombrosa was long carried out by members of the same Congregation. It was only in the 20th century, specifically in the second half of the century, that a ‘critical’ historiography, by lay scholars and interested in the comparative analysis with other religious movements and congregations, developed. Nonetheless present-day studies focus on the early stages and the zenith of the congregation (namely the period between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries) and overlook the fifteenth century. This review article is related to the Vallombrosian bibliography in this same issue of the journal.
