Hi all,
Sorry if this posted in the wrong place but I wondered if anyone might have any recommendations for books on 12th century Christian spirituality, please? I'm looking for general, introductory texts.
Many thanks.

Not quite sure what you mean by this. Are you looking for stuff about Cistercian monasticism, Aelred, Cluny, things like that?

There might be something more general out there, but a decent next step would be to pick some authors you're interested and find what they have from them in the classics of western spirituality series. These volumes often come with good introductions and bibliographies.

Not exactly spirituality but I just read a cracking biography of Thomas Becket by John Guy

You might try:
--the Christian section of the Internet Sacred Texts Archive, and the off-site links at the bottom of the page.
--this search. And, in a lovely incident of recursion, it includes the OP of this thread!

Although we don't tend to regard the crusades these days as a manifestation of spirituality, contemporaries did. The C12 saw a lot of crusading. So you'll need to evaluate that.
Also, Barlaam and the controversy about it is not until the C14, but hesychasm had been uncontroversially followed for several centuries before that.

On my phone so hard to post links, but Cistercian Publications has a very good selection of books from that era. When I get home will give you some links to their website.
