Johannes Meyer. Das Amptbuch.

This excellent scholarly study is directed to a
variety of readers: from church historians to
art historians, who previously could turn directly
only to the illuminated initials that appeared
in two of the six manuscripts of the Amptbuch.
In addition to a critical edition, the editor
offers here an English translation of The
Book of Duties together with notes. The title
reflects the underlying text, which is about the
obligations and (sometimes mundane) duties
that specific sisters were obliged to perform in
service to their communities.
