The Chronicle of Le Murate, completed by Sister Giustina Niccolini
in 1598, is one of a small number of surviving documents that
presents a nun's own interpretation and synthesis of historical
events. It recounts the roughly two hundred-year history of
Florence's largest convent, which attracted boarders, nuns and
patrons from Italy's elite families. The manuscript provides a rare
view of life behind the enclosure walls and of nuns interaction
with the world outside. The messy vitality of this account is an
important pendant to the more formal and predictable convent
chronicles that dominate the genre.
