Stephen Harding, in the _English Saints_. See also Henry Collins (one
of the Oxford Movement, who became a Cistercian), _Spirit and Mission
of the Cistercian Order_ (1866). The facts are related in Helyot,
_Hist. des ordres religieux_ (1792), v. cc. 33-46, vi cc. 1, 2. Useful
sketches, with references to the literature, are supplied in Herzog,
_Realencyklopaedie_ (ed. 3), art. "Cistercienser"; Wetzer und Welte,
_Kirchenlexikon_ (ed. 2), art. "Cistercienserorden"; Max Heimbucher,
_Orden und Kongregationen_ (1896), i. Sec.Sec. 33, 34. Prof. Brewer's
discriminating, yet on the whole sympathetic, Preface to vol. iv. of
the Works of Giraldus Cambrensis (Rolls Series of _Chronicles and
Memorials_) is very instructive. Denis Murphy's _Triumphalia
Monasterii S. Crucis_ (1891) contains a general sketch, with a
particular account of the Irish Cistercians. (E. C. B.)
CITATION (Lat. _citare_, to cite), in law, a summons to appear, more
particularly applied in England to process in the probate and divorce
division of the high court. In the ecclesiastical courts, citation was a
method of commencing a probate suit, answering to a writ of summons at
common law, and it is now in English probate practice an instrument
issuing from the principal probate registry, chiefly used when a person,
having the superior right to take a grant, delays or declines to do so,
and another having an inferior right desires to obtain a grant; the
party having the prior right is cited to appear and either to renounce
the grant or show cause why it should not be decreed to the citator. In
divorce practice, when a petitioner has filed his petition and
affidavit, he extracts a citation, i.e. a command drawn in the name of
the sovereign and signed by one of the registrars of the court, calling
upon the alleged offender to appear and make answer to the petition. In
Scots law, citation is used in the sense of a writ of summons. The word
in its more general literary sense means the act of quoting, or the
referring to an authority in support of an argument.
CITEAUX, a village of eastern France, in the department of Cote d'Or, 16
m. S.S.E. of Dijon by road. It is celebrated for the great abbey founded
by Robert, abbot of Molesme, in 1098, which became the headquarters of
the Cistercian order. The buildings which remain date chiefly from the
18th century and are of little interest. The church, destroyed in 1792,
