Cluniac

/ ˈkluːnɪˌæk /

adjective

of or relating to a reformed Benedictine order founded at the French town of Cluny in 910

The monks of Moissac, being Cluniac and not Cistercian, found imagery profitable to their souls.

In some Orders, such as the Cistercian and Cluniac, it was performed with a certain amount of ceremonial usage.

He struck out a new line, which was a still further departure from the ideal of St. Benedict than was the Cluniac system.

The Cluniac, having dipped his hands in a silver basin, was drying them in the brazier's heat.

Scared out of all composure by this blasphemy, the Cluniac fell to crossing himself and mumbling invocations.
