The imperial convent of St. Servatius at Quedlinburg (founded in
936) was one of the wealthiest, most prestigious, and most
politically powerful religious houses of medieval Germany, subject
only to the authority of the emperor and the pope. This is the
first English-language volume to provide an introduction to this
important female religious community. The twelve essays by a team
of international scholars address an array of topics in
Quedlinburg's medieval history, with a particular focus on how the
Quedlinburg community of learned aristocratic women used
architecture and the visual arts to assert the abbey's illustrious
history, ongoing political importance, and cultural significance.
Contributors are: Clemens Bley, Karen Blough, Shirin Fozi, Tobias

Krieg, Manfred Mehl, Katharina Ulrike Mersch, Christian Popp,
Helene Scheck, and Adam R. Stead.
