Scholarly but Contemplative

[Count Claydus]

Does anyone know of a cloistered group of monks who also put much emphasis on studying and learning philosophy, theology, Church history, and canon law?

I feel like you've asked this question before ... maybe that was someone else? 

Here is a list of cloistered mens communities. The closest match on this list to what you describe would probably be the Benedictines.
