Book synopsis

Visit of the town of St. Gall and its famous abbey, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.

In this second volume of the Guides à pattes series on the Middle Ages, Adalbert, a stubborn and determined bear, takes you on an investigation in the heart of a jewel of the High Middle Ages monastic world: the abbey of St. Gall. He wants to uncover a book to prove to his cousin that a bear played a decisive role in the birth of this abbey.

The origins of the abbey go back to 612 when the Irish monk Gallus decided to establish himself in this secluded valley and build a modest chapel. A century later, in honor of this saint, Otmar founded the illustrious abbey of St. Gall.

Guided by Adalbert, you will go back in time and discover the history of the monastery, from its foundation to its golden age in the 9th and 10th centuries. On your way, you will share the daily life of the monks who led to the fame of this abbey. Some were copyists, others cantors or physicians. The abbey was managed like a small town with its church, mills, gardens, bakeries, farm and hospital.
