This book explores the lives of nuns in medieval German convents, focusing on their roles in love, politics, and religion. It highlights how these women held significant influence as 'brides of Christ' and played vital roles within their communities. The authors, Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber, delve into various aspects of convent life, including education, family dynamics, music, and the impact of the Reformation. The work draws from unique historical sources, such as a convent diary and a collection of letters, to provide insight into the nuns' experiences and their resistance to Lutheran reforms. Aimed at those interested in medieval history and women's roles in religious contexts, the book seeks to illuminate the overlooked contributions of these nuns.

The study is the first monograph devoted to the musical culture of a female order in Poland. It is a result of in-depth research into musical, narrative, economic, and prosopographic sources surviving in libraries and archives. Focused on the musical practice of nuns, the book also points to the context of spirituality, morality, and culture of the post-Trident era. The author indicates the transformation of the musical activity of the nuns during the 17th and 18th century and discusses its various kinds: plainsong, Latin and Polish polyphonic song, polichoral, keyboard, vocal-instrumental and chamber music. She reflects on the role of music in liturgy and monastic events and in everyday life of cloistered women, describes the recruitment of musically gifted candidates, and the scriptorial activity of nuns.

Het eerste begijnhof van Herentals ontstond kort vóór 1266 aan de noordzijde van de stad over de Nete. Na de afbraak van dit hof in 1578 groepeerden de begijnen zich kort vóór 1600 opnieuw op de huidige site. Het kerkje werd gebouwd van 1599 tot 1614. De nog bestaande huizen, waarvan de Infirmerie (1715) het voornaamste is, dateren grotendeels uit de zeventiende en de achttiende eeuw. Ondanks de afbraak van belangrijke delen in de twintigste eeuw heeft het Begijnhof zijn charme behouden. Het wordt vooral gekenmerkt door de zeer groene inplanting, waardoor het mee een inspiratiebron vormde voor de Britse ontwerpers van tuinwijken. De kerk werd van 2002 tot 2005 gerestaureerd onder leiding van de architecten P. Bellemans en R. Steenmeijer. Ze werd in 2006 genomineerd voor de Monumentenprijs. Het Begijnhof is met de onmiddellijke omgeving beschermd als stadsgezicht. De kerk, de Infirmerie, de Gildekamer, de twee poorten, het Fundatiehuis en de voormalige pastorie zijn beschermd als monument.Het boek is de uitwerking van de culturele, historische en esthetische analyse van de nog bestaande huizen van het Begijnhof, die in 2004-2005 uitgevoerd werd in het kader van het herwaarderingsplan voor het Begijnhof en zijn landschappelijke omgeving. De analyse bestond telkens uit een bouwhistorische studie door Jan Cools en opmetingsplans met inventarisering van alle waardevolle elementen en een fotoreportage door de architecten Paul Bellemans, Tijs Bellemans en An Luyten. Naderhand werden de bevindingen aan elkaar getoetst en verder uitgewerkt. Het eindresultaat is een duidelijk beeld van de wijze van bouwen en wonen op een middelgroot begijnhof door vier eeuwen heen.

"On October 16, 1943, the Jews of Rome were targeted for arrest and deportation. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome examines why?and more importantly how?it could have been avoided, featuring new evidence and insight into the Vatican?s involvement. At the time, Rome was within reach of the Allies, but the overwhelming force of the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS in Rome precluded direct confrontation. Moral condemnations would not have worked, nor would direct confrontation by the Italians, Jewish leadership, or even the Vatican. Gallo underscores the necessity of determining what courses of actions most likely would have spared Italian Jews from the gas chambers. Examining the historical context and avoiding normative or counterfactual assertions, this book draws upon archival sources ranging from diaries to intelligence intercepts in English, Italian, and German. With antisemitism on the rise today and the last remaining witnesses passing away, it is essential to understand what happened in 1943. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome grapples with this particular, awful episode within the larger, horrifying story of the Holocaust. Despite the inadequacy of memory, we must continue to attempt to make sense of the inexplicable. "
