Greetings!
Now that that pesky PhD is done with, I'm starting to look for new paths to
take with my research. I've been doing a fair bit of reading lately about
nuns, and am curious whether anyone has written anything specifically on the
pastoral care of nuns--either on works which might have been written to help
priests or even for the nuns themselves. (I'm already familiar with the
Ancrene Wisse, which sort of falls into this category). In a similar vein,
does anyone know of works discussing books owned by female monastic houses?
(I'm already covered for England in this particular search.)
I'm most interested in the 13th and 14th centuries (post Lateran IV), but
since I'm aware that it can be somewhat more difficult to study the history
of nuns as opposed to that of monks, I'll read just about anything.
Thanks--
Susan Carroll-Clark
