| Abstract | The sessions proposes to look at how communities in Northern Germany communicated the reform impulse of the 15th century - and how they dealt with the Reformation of the 16th century. It will explore the strategies of networking and text production within the Lüneburg convents and propose that the 'monastic landscape' of the late 15th century was transformed into a knowledge hub through the shared experience of conventual reform. |
