Pope Gregory the seventh being bishop of Rome,¹ Bruno of Cologne the Philosopher & divine, whom Bernard calleth a fair pillar of the church, did institute the order of the Charterhouse monks in the diocese of Gracianopolis, at a place ⟨image 88⟩named Curtusia. Their life was outwardly full of painted holiness, in forbearing flesh, in fasting bread and water every friday, in wearing hairy clothes next their body, full of solitariness, much silence ever pinned in, never going out, refusing all women's company, with other semblable ceremonies. In the year of our Lord. 1620. Ibidem.
