Germania Sacra Historisch-statistische Beschreibung Der Kirche Des Alten Reiches

In this volume, Wilhelm Kohl turns his attention to the ladiesa (TM) secular abbey west of MA1/4nster. After covering the standard Germania Sacra aspects a " archive, library, and memorialsa " Kohl focuses on the abbeya (TM)s origins, its foundation as an early medieval cloister, as well as, its founding patrons. What follows is an exposition on the transformation of the cloister into a Kanonissenstift (canoness residence), leading to a history of the almost 1000 year old home up to its secularisation. Constitution, religious life, and above all, detailed lists of important names are further notable characteristics of this volume. With this, Wilhelm Kohla (TM)s volume not only is a fitting addition to the Germania Sacra volumes covering Saxonian Homes (GS NF 7: Gandersheim, GS NF 10: Freckenhorst, GS NF 21: Herzebrock, and GS NF 23: Liesborn), but also deepens the history of the Munster Diocese (thus far GS NF 3, 5, 10, 17, 23, 33, 37).Max-Planck-Institut fur Geschichte is the author of 'Germania Sacra Historisch-statistische Beschreibung Der Kirche Des Alten Reiches', published 2005 under ISBN 9783110185324 and ISBN 3110185326.
