Il XII secolo è conosciuto nella storiografia come secolo di un grande cambiamento. La nascita delle Università, un rinnovato interesse per la tradizione antica e l’affermarsi della poesia nelle lingue volgari sono i segnali meglio conosciuti di questa trasformazione. Ma anche un’altra grande novità caratterizza questo tempo in una diversa direzione: l’invenzione della scrittura mistica femminile. Le poliedriche visioni di Ildegarde di Bingen aprono un capitolo decisivo nella storia della cultura europea, che ancora in tutto il secolo XIII offrirà personalità poetiche e spirituali di prim’ordine, come Hadewijch di Anversa, Matilde di Hackeborn e Geltrude di Helfta. Donne ai margini della cultura e del potere narrano un’assoluta familiarità con Dio, diretta e senza mediazione, una familiarità che le conduce in innumerevoli viaggi nello spazio e nel tempo, dando luogo a motivi letterari inattesi, rappresentativi di una più alta consapevolezza cristiana. Il libro raccoglie i testi di queste scrittrici, alcune pressoché sconosciute e in molti casi mai tradotte in lingua italiana, documentandone le nuove istanze spirituali e intellettuali.

The transmission of knowledge in clerical and academic settings of the later Middle Ages has been relatively well studied by traditional scholarship. But successes achieved in other subject-areas by the application of a set of methodologies grouped under the rubric of ‘gender studies’ may offer insights into medieval education. This approach invites a re-examination in gender-political terms of the definition of knowledge by clerical elites and the concomitant rejection from the category of ‘knowledge’ of many varieties of knowledge which did not coincide with their template. The ten articles of this volume focus both on the perennial valorization of the content and methods of clerical/academic education, on the limitation of venues for its transmission to sites from which women were categorically excluded, and, in terms of media for the transmission of knowledge, on the attendant restriction of the techniques and media considered valid for the storage, retrieval, and communication of knowledge to those that were current in these privileged sites.The volume addresses the following issues: what varieties of knowledge were available to communities of women? What kinds of knowledge originated in or became characteristic of women’s communities? What techniques did women develop to preserve and transmit their knowledge? In what ways and with what success was women’s knowledge valorized, both by authors from within these communities and by ‘authoritative’ figures from outside? Under what circumstances could women become authoritative originators of and transmitters of knowledge?
