Jewish Studies

How did Christian communities across time and space engage with religious others? Informed by current debates on global history, the studies in this volume cover Eastern and Western Christian traditions stretching from the second to the twentieth century and portray Christianity as a fluid, relational, and globally entangled religion.

This volume contains three sources and studies drawn from the late medieval records of the Benedictine convent of Lüne near Lüneburg - the edition of the statute book with the rites of admission to the monastic community, the diary of the prioress Mechthild Wilde about her own election, and a study on the networks of the Lüne provosts, especially with regard to their acquisition of benefices.
