The Dominican Discourse on Love in Selected Manuscripts from Schönensteinbach Nunnery

This collaborative project aims to analyze and edit a set of texts hitherto unknown to scholarship. The manuscripts from Schönensteinbach were closely linked to the monastic reform with its centre in Nuremberg (the Dominican Observance), and present a unique collection of texts on love. Together with Stephen Mossman and Stefan Seeber, I will edit some of these texts, starting with a tract on love ascribed to Macrobius. Together with this edition, we will provide a commentary and an interdisciplinary outlook on the discourse on love that influences the tract."
