For a long time it was thought that there were no Middle Dutch sermons dating from the thirteenth century. It was only after J.P. Gumbert had redated the manuscript from The Hague containing the Limburg Sermons that its contents could be assigned to that century. Most of the Limburg Sermons appear to be translations of the Middle High German St. Georgen sermons. But sixteen of these texts are known only in Middle Dutch, and among these is to be found material drawn from the works of Hadewijch and Beatrijs van Nazareth. Thus the Limburg Sermons emerge to take their place in the famous tradition of Brabantine mysticism.

The result of a joint project by medievalists at the U. of Chile in Santiago and the universities of Ghent and Antwerp in the Netherlands, the essays of this volume consider medieval women's literacy with a focus on the impact of gender. Five essays consider aspects of Hildegard of Bingen's writings, particularly in her Symphonia. Other topics include the uses of literacy in medieval Beguine communities, women's literacy in 13th-century Latin Agogic texts, Johannes Tauler's writings on Bingen's Scivias, and Jan van Ruusbroec's perception of religious women. Distributed by the David Brown Book Company. The volume is not indexed. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
