The term "priory" in literature is employed in versatile ways, often evoking a sense of medieval spiritual and social life. In works like Malory’s Arthurian tales ([1], [2]) and Sir James Knowles’ accounts ([3], [4]), priories serve as tangible locations—places of lodging or meeting points for knights—that ground the chivalric narratives in a specific time and space. In contrast, other authors such as Thomas Hardy ([5], [6]) and Mark Twain ([7]) use priories to conjure atmospheres of decline or institutional power, reflecting the historical turns of monastic life. Even encyclopedic definitions ([8]) highlight the priory's distinct function as a modest religious institution run by a prior. Through these varied depictions, the word "priory" becomes a rich literary symbol embodying both spiritual sanctity and the socio-political transformations of its time.
