An important source is presented here for the first time as a fully annotated edition in which selected passages of the chronicle are compared with their counterparts from the preserved fragments of the diary.

The Convent of Lüne's adoption of the Bursfeld Reform in 1481 brought about a flowering of spiritual, artistic and written culture that would last until the introduction of the Lutheran Reformation by Duke Ernst I of Lüneburg. The learned nuns produced liturgical 'ordines', statutes, and archived their correspondence. They also kept a diary, of which only fragments remain, and used it to compile a chronicle as late as 1530, a time when the emergence of a new era had already begun to cast its shadow over the convent. The record the nuns made for posterity bore witness to their community and a way of life that had been inspired by the monastic reform movement. An important source is presented here for the first time as a fully annotated edition in which selected passages of the chronicle are compared with their counterparts from the preserved fragments of the diary.
