Description:
Agnes Blannbekin's life is known only through her work Life and Revelations , which describes the daily life and religious experiences of living in a Beguine community in Vienna. Typical of descriptions of 13th-century women's mysticism, it describes her personal devotion, visits made to church to celebrate Mass, religious activities and conduct, her everyday routine and her attitude towards others both within and outside of Beguine communities. Translated here from the Latin with an introduction, notes and an intrepetative essay.
