Dear all
I am trying to find descriptions of the ceremonies which occured when girls
entered a convent and then later took the veil. I am especially interested
in fifteenth century Florence but would be willing to look farther if
necessary. To put this request into some sort of context, I am looking at
comparisons between the ceremonies which accompanied the wedding of
girls/women from elite Florentine families and the entry of girls/women into
convents. I have a feeling that I have read a description somewhere but I
can't find it in my notes (familiar story I'm sure). Suggestions of both
primary and secondary material would be welcome as I'm always willing to
expand my knowledge of convents.
