Hymnizate nunc superi / Pariterque resonate inferi: Convents, Liturgy and Writing in Female Convents

WORKSHOP HOSTED BY IN HEINRICH-HEINE-UNIVERSITÄT DÜSSELDORF (HAUS DER UNIVERSITÄT), 1-3 September 2021

Organized by Pablo Acosta-García (HHU) and Sergi Sancho Fibla (UC Leuven)

Liturgical life is related not only with prayer and meditation, but also with the education of nun's and their capacity of perceiving their lives in a sacred framework. As it is proved not only by mystical commentaries to the liturgy as Mechthild von Hackeborn or by extant visionary sermons cycles, liturgy provided the communities of women with an intellectual set of sacred texts and images and organized their knowledge following the patterns of the liturgical cycle. In the first Session of this two-part workshop we have deepened in the connections between liturgical life, mystical experience and writing in female convents from different parts of Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain, France...) with diferent experts in the field.
