Short description/annotation
This study shows how female scribes contributed to the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages.
Main description
Professor Beach's book on female scribes in twelfth-century Bavaria - the first full-length study of the role of women copyists in the Middle Ages - is underpinned by the notion that the scriptorium was central to the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages and that women played a role in this renaissance. The author examines the exceptional quantity of evidence of female scribal activity in three different religious communities, pointing out the various ways in which the women worked - alone, with other women, and even alongside men - to produce books for monastic libraries, and discussing why their work should have been made visible, whereas that of other female scribes remains invisible. Beach's focus on manuscript production, and the religious, intellectual, social and economic factors which shaped that production, enables her to draw wide-ranging conclusions of interest not only to palaeographers but also to those interested in reading, literacy, religion and gender history.
Table of contents:
1. Introduction; 2. Diemut and the nun-scribes of Wessobrunn; 3. Claustration and collaboration: the nun-scribes of Admont; 4. Unlikely allies in the scriptorium: the female scribes of Schäftlarn; 5. Conclusion; Appendix A: Codicological tables; Appendix B: Ruling patterns; Bibliography; Index.
