Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts wirkte der Ordenschronist Johannes Meyer als Beichtvater im observanten Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Michael in der Insel in Bern. Sein Ziel war die Einrichtung eines vorbildlichen Reformklosters. Dafür richtete er eine Bibliothek ein, übersetzte und kommentierte die dominikanischen Verfassungstexte und Reformvorschriften für den Gebrauch in Frauenklöstern und ergänzte diese mit chronikalischen und erläuternden Werken. Diese Texte verbreiteten sich in den observanten Dominikanerinnenklöstern und wirkten massgeblich auf die innerklösterliche Umsetzung der Reform ein. Am Beispiel des Berner Regelbuches lässt sich die Förderung des geistlichen Lebens in den Frauenklöstern im Zuge der Klosterreform deutlich aufzeigen: Systematisch wurde eine Bibliothek aufgebaut, ein Skriptorium eingerichtet und der Einsatz der Bücher im klösterlichen Alltag intensiviert. Allgemein kam es zu einem verstärkten Gebrauch von Schriftlichkeit. Der Weg aus der Krise zur Erneuerung auf der Basis eines funktionalen Gebrauchs von Schrift, Buch und Bibliothek entwickelte sich jedoch keineswegs isoliert, er stand in einem engen Austauschverhältnis mit einem stark von volkssprachlicher Schriftlichkeit geprägten städtischen Umfeld.

The latest volume in the series concentrates, as always, on the half century before and the century after 1066, with papers which have many interconnections and range across different kinds of history. There is a particular focus on church history, with contributions on an Anglo-Saxon archiepiscopal manual, architecture and liturgy in post-Conquest Lincolnshire, Anglo-Norman cathedral chapters, and twelfth-century views of the tenth-century monastic reform. Other topics considered include social history (the Anglo-Norman family), gender (William of Malmesbury's representation of Bishop Wulfstan of Worcester), and politics (the sheriffs of Northumberland and Cumberland 1170-1185). The volume is completed with articles on Domesday Book and the post-Domesday Evesham Abbey surveys, and a double paper on land tenure and royal patronage. Contributors: STEPHEN BAXTER, JOHN BLAIR, HOWARD CLARKE, TRACEY-ANN COOPER, HUGH DOHERTY, PAUL EVERSON, DAVID STOCKER, KIRSTEN FENTON, VANESSA KING, JOHN MOORE, NICOLA ROBERTSON, DAVID ROFFE.
