Scope & Content
The Vitae section collects biographical entries on persons important to the history of religious women and communities. Here we include both short biographies authored by modern scholars and brief data--sometimes only names--about otherwise unknown religious women. We also provide links to historical lives edited or translated for electronic publication in Monastic Matrix. Our long-range goal is to develop the Vitae section as a tool that can function both as a biographical dictionary and a prosopographical resource.
