Selections from this widely varied original mystical treatise offer
insight into the lives of C13 female religious in northern Europe.
Here is one of the great surprises of German medieval literature.
Compiled between c.1250 and c.1282, it is an extraordinary piece of
imaginative writing. It integrates visions, auditions, dialogues,
prayers, hymns, lyrical love poems, letters, allegories and
parables, and draws creatively on features from hagiography, the
disputation, the treatise, and magic spells, as the author
documents her relationship with God and with her contemporaries.
Selectionsfrom the text are presented here in translation with
introduction and notes. Dr Elizabeth A. Andersen teaches in the
School of Modern Languages, Newcastle University.
