Seeing and Knowing: Women and Learning in Medieval Europe, 1200-1550 (Medieval Women: Texts and Contexts) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The studies within this volume apply insights gained from gender studies to re-consider the way knowledge and learning was transmitted in medieval Europe 1200-1550. Traditional scholarship has largely concentrated on the clerical and academic context of conventional learning. It tended to focus on the contents and methods of formal education, as well as on a small group of educational institutions from which women were excluded. In this volume, authors consider how learning was transmitted outside the schools, in particular within women's communities. They raise a range of questions: how was knowledge transmitted in an oral context, what varieties of knowledge were available to communities of women? What kinds of learning are characteristic of such communities? What techniques did women develop to preserve and transmit their knowledge and how was it valorized both within their communities, and by 'authoritative' outsiders? Under what circumstances could women themselves gain authority in passing on knowledge to a wider audience?

Starting with Juliana of Cormillon's vision of the Trinity and the role of gender in the scholastic and visionary acquisition of knowledge, this text investigates other more complicated yet challenging ways of seeing and knowing.
