Frauen--Kloster--Kunst

"This book examines the role of religious women in the patronage and production of art during the Middle Ages. Combining perspectives from various disciplines, the volume considers the visual culture of female monasticism as well as its impact on the broader culture." "Forty-five texts in German, English, and French by scholars from Europe and the United States are organized thematically, presenting the results of new research on textual sources, buildings, and works of art from across northern, southern and eastern Europe."--Jacket.
