NOVICES AND THEIR SUPERVISORS
Hildemar[273]
classifies the youths of the monastery as
"children" (infantes), "boys" (pueri), and "adolescents"
(adolescentiores) according to their respective ages: "children"
up to the age of seven, "boys" from the age of seven
to fourteen, "adolescents" from the age of fourteen to
twenty-eight. Since every ten novices, according to Hildemar,[274]
had to have three to four supervisors with them at
all times, the Novitiate must have housed, along with the
novices, four or five regular monks. Some of those must
have slept in the Dormitory of the Novices. Others may have
shared the quarters of the master of the Novitiate. That the
latter was not the sole occupant of his apartment is suggested
by the size of his room and the fact that his privy has
two toilet seats. But the master's room could never have
held more than four or five beds besides his own. I call
attention to the interesting observation that the maximum
number of beds which could be installed in the novitiate
(twenty-six) does not exceed the seating capacity of the
chapel (twenty-eight), but is, rather, slightly below it.[275]
