Summary
The discovery of the oldest surviving manuscript from Nivelles Abbey, its Liber ordinarius, represents a significant addition to our knowledge of the turbulent history and religious practices of the ancient female foundation. The Liber ordinarius and the inserted documents provide valuable information regarding the interaction of the male and female communities in Nivelles and the development of the cult of the abbess, St Gertrude.
