The codicological and palaeographical parts of this book are a little outside of my particular wheelhouse, so I can't speak to the standard of Beach's analysis there, but overall I thought this was a clear and elegant overview of women's involvement in book production at three southern German monastic houses during the twelfth century Renaissance. Beach demonstrates that religious women were active participants in this process to a much greater degree than had previously been thought, and argues against the assumption that any unsigned manuscript must automatically be assigned to a male author or scribe because one could automatically identify female handwriting as it was "delicate, irregular, nervous, and light." Uh huh. Anyway, while I would have liked to see a bit more direct comparison between these German nuns and canonesses and women scribes in other parts of Europe, I still found this an interesting and valuable study.

Alison Beach's book on female scribes in twelfth-century Bavaria is based on the belief that the scriptorium was vital to the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages and that women played a role in this renaissance. Beach's focus on manuscript production at three rather different religious houses, and the religious, intellectual, social and economic factors which influenced that production, enables her to draw wide-ranging conclusions of interest to palaeographers as well as others interested in religious and gender history.
