Nathair/|\ Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I have an option of writing a paper instead of taking a final exam for my Medieval Women Mystics class. The course doesn't cover any Irish women. If anyone can help me out with some sources from whom we have surviving writings, that would be a big help.Yours under the otherworldly oaks,Nathair /|\
Calm Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I think you should hit some Irish or Medieval message boards. Better chance of success.

The Nehor Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't know they had message boards in medieval times.Shows how dumb I am! They compensated for it with the drama of their courts. Had more real-life consequences and was only slightly more absurd then most message board conversations.
bluebell Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I've got a book that has some-let me check and get back to you....
bluebell Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Sorry, the info in my books are all pre-medieval.

volgadon Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 You might try a different tack, such as the influence of the Irish St. Disibod on Hildegard of Bingen. 1
aspire Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What about St. Bridget, who was also considered the personification of the Celtic goddess Bridget? Although I really like Hildaguard of Brenin(sp).

Nathair/|\ Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 We are already spending a lot of time on St. Hildegard. To my knowledge, no writings of St. Bridget have survived, if they ever existed. I love her, but I can't use her.

KevinG Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Aren't the Irish Medieval Women Mystics a singing group that does concerts on PBS all the time?(sorry... couldn't resist)
