In this study, Cynthia J. Cyrus demonstrates the prevalence of manuscript production by women monastics and challenges current assumptions of how manuscripts circulated in the late medieval period. Drawing on extensive research into the surviving manuscripts of over 450 women's convents, the author assesses the genres common to women's convent libraries emphasizing a social rather than a codicological understanding of how manuscripts of women's libraries came to be copied.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn engaging mix of biography, women's history, and book history, \u003cem\u003eThe Scribes for Women's Convents in Late Medieval Germany\u003c\/em\u003e will change the way medieval manuscripts are understood and studied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123848528112,"sku":"9781442692060","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442692060_p0.jpg?v=1763809676","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442692060","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
