The topics to be examined include analysis of Carthusian nuns, in particular the Rite of Consecration for Virgins - with special reference to manuscripts from Mont-Sainte-Marie at Gosnay in Northern France - the ducal mausoleum-church at Champmol, and the illustration of English Carthusian manuscripts.
