Translated from the Latin and Francoprovencal with an introduction, notes, and interpretative essay. Margaret of Oingt was born around 1240 into a noble family in the French Beaujolais region, and became prioress of the Carthusian charterhouse of Poletains; visionary and mystic, her writings are intelligent and humorous. Included here are the Page of Meditations, on sin and salvation; the Mirror, a vision of Christ; the Life of the Virgin Saint Beatrice of Ornacieux, an exemplary text; and letters and stories, including comments on her problems as prioress.MARKET GeneralMedieval studies: Intellectual and spiritual life, Women in European culture; History of Western thought; Women's studies
