Observance and reform were the leading topics throughout the holy orders of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. It is within this research context, which has been intensifying for some years now, that this volume is located. It focuses on example analyses of death and funeral liturgy, and their impact on the monastic identities of observant and conventual Dominican communities of women in southwest Germany.
