- ORDER, HOLY
order of See also:English origin, was See also:born at Sempringham in See also:Lincolnshire, c. 1083-1089. He was educated in See also:France, and ordained in 1123, being presented by his See also:father to the living of Sempringham. About 1135 he established there a See also:convent for nuns; and to perform the heavy See also:work and cultivate the See also:fields he formed a number of labourers into a society of See also:lay See also:brothers attached to the convent. Similar establishments were founded elsewhere, and in 1147 Gilbert tried to get them incorporated in the Cistercian order. Failing in this, he proceeded to See also:form communities of priests and clerics to perform the spiritual ministrations needed by the nuns. The See also:women lived according to the See also:Benedictine See also:rule as interpreted by the See also:Cistercians; the men according to the rule of St See also:Augustine, and were canons See also:regular. The See also:special constitutions of the order were largely taken from those of the Premonstratensian canons and of the Cistercians. Like See also:Fontevrault (q.v.) it was a See also:double order, the communities of men and women living See also:side by side; but, though the See also:property all belonged to the nuns, the See also:superior of the canons was the See also:head of the whole See also:establishment, and the See also:general superior was a See also:canon, called " See also:Master of Sempringham," The general See also:chapter was a mixed See also:assembly composed of two canons and two nuns from each See also:house; the nuns had to travel to the chapter in closed carts. The See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office was celebrated together in the See also:- CHURCH

By Gilbert's See also:death (1189) there, were nine double monasteries and four of canons only, containing about 700 canons and l000 nuns in all. At the See also:dissolution there were some 25 monasteries, whereof 4 ranked among the greater monasteries (see See also:list in F. A. Gasquet's English Monastic See also:Life).
