Recovering the stories of medieval and early modern religious women using all available methods from science and the humanities. #TeamNun projects integrate research from library to lab.
Look closely at the bottom of the Rupertsberg Antependium and you will see ten praying nuns. These may have been the artists who created this altacloth at Eibingen. All are named and embroidered right into the centre of the liturgical action -- a sacred space from which they were otherwise excluded.

Did you know that medieval religious women were among the most skilled artists of the Middle Ages? Nuns at the abbey of Eibingen in Germany worked together in the early years of the thirteenth century to create a richly embroidered cloth of purple/red silk to decorate the front of a church altar.

🧵 1/5: I'm THRILLED to see Jiří Vnouček's paper on the Hamburg Bible's parchment finally published with such stunning illustrations (73 in all)!
This research shows how a careful reading of parchment tells a rich story of its creation.
