"This present volume is the second in an integrated series of three and focused on
the literacies of nuns in medieval Europe, brings together specialists working on
diverse geographical areas to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts
nuns read, wrote, and exchanged from the eighth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. The
present volume is the second in a series of three integrated publications, the first
produced in 2013 as 'Nuns' Literacies in Medieval Europe: The Hull Dialogue'. Like
that volume, this collection of essays, focused on various aspects of nuns' literacies
from the late seventh to the mid-sixteenth century, brings together the work of specialists
to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts that were read, written,
and exchanged by medieval nuns. It investigates literacy from palaeographical and
textual perspectives, evidence of book ownership and exchange, and other more external
evidence, both literary and historical. To highlight the benefits of cross-cultural
comparison, contributions include case studies focused on northern and southern Europe,
as well as the extreme north and west of the region. A number of essays illustrate
nuns' active engagement with formal education, and with varied textual forms, such
as the legal and epistolary, while others convey the different opportunities for studying
examples of nuns' artistic literacy. The various discussions included here build collectively
on the first volume to demonstrate the comparative experiences of medieval female
religious who were reading, writing, teaching, composing, and illustrating at different
times and in diverse geographical areas throughout medieval Europe"--P. [4] of cover
