Abstract

|
|
|
| This special issue of the Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures is devoted to a range of essays about women's involvement with spirituality—as readers, illustrators, copyists, and authors—in the Germanic regions from the thirteenth to the first decades of the sixteenth century. The focus is on texts and authors from England, Germany, and the Low Countries. The impetus for these studies was a colloquium titled “Medieval Female Writers in the Germanic Regions” held on April 4, 2014, at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Contributors to the original conference explored a series of case studies that served to highlight the variable nature of women's spirituality in complementary and contrasting ways. The essays here, which include some by colleagues who presented at the colloquium plus other specially commissioned articles, focus on a broad spectrum of devotional texts, from mystical treatises over a book of saints' lives and devotional compilations to sermon literature. |
