A Short History of Monks and Monasteries

By Alfred Wesley Wishart

Only available via Project Gutenberg

FREE Alt.Kindle/Nook/Other Eds.
(via Project Gutenberg)
The aim of this volume is to sketch the history of the monastic institution from its origin to its overthrow in the Reformation period, for although the institution is by no means now extinct, its power was practically broken in the sixteenth century, and no new orders of importance or new types have arisen since that time.

Although this book is not free, there is not a good, concise intro to the stories of the Desert Fathers that is free, and this bargain ebook serves that role very well.
