The Spiritual Precepts of Peter Damian

My intention is to the life and effectiveness of Damian’s as completely as possible, first by a biographical display. This part here is the first sources his history, his work as reformer of monks, chosen life as a contemplative and hermit, his intervention in the general church reform and its relationship with its forth - projecting contemporaries, especially to the popes, until the Easter Synod of 1059, finally, about his political position. Using his numerous letters and treatise schemes - the most prominent source for his story to fix as far as possible chronologically and order, an attempt has been made.
