The often forgotten world of medieval nuns holds many secrets about the lives of ordinary people of the age, their daily routines, education, and societal roles. German medieval historian Henrike Lähnemann shares with Matt Lewis her research into the rich archives of convents, which revealed nuns' vibrant lives, from their involvement in local politics and commerce to their spiritual duties and family bonds. They discuss how medieval convents served as hubs of learning, medicine, and community interaction, complete with both solemn rituals and moments of joyful laughter.Gone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis and edited by Amy Haddow.

"Unerhörte Frauen." - von Henrike Lähnemann und Eva Schlotheuber eine Rezension von Rahel Micklich - Literaturkritik.de (Hördauer 19 Minuten) Zwischen Tradition und Reformation, Selbst- und FremdbestimmungHenrike Lähnemann und Eva Schlotheuber schreiben über Nonnen im späten Mittelalter, über „Unerhörte Frauen“ und ihre Netzwerke der Liebe Scito quod nullis amor est medicabilis herbis – „Wisse, gegen die Liebe ist kein Kraut gewachsen!“ Nicht gegen die der Fürsorge für Kranke und Sterbende, um die sich die Lemgoer (Lüneburger, Medinger, Derneburger …) Nonnen liebevoll gekümmert haben, nicht gegen die, die sie allererst in Bewegung gesetzt hat; aber auch nicht gegen die, mit der dieses Buch verfasst worden ist und die auch seine Leser ergreift, die sich darauf einlassen. Diese (dem besprochenen Titel entnommene) um 1350 zu Zeiten der Pest entstandene Aussage aus einer medizinischen Handschrift des Dominikanerinnenklosters Lemgo reflektiert in mehrfacher Hinsicht, worum es im und dem Buch der beiden Autorinnen, renommierte Professorinnen aus Oxford und Düsseldorf, geht: Um viele Dinge, beeindruckend viele – „aber die Liebe ist die größte unter ihnen“. …“ Eine Rezension von Rahel Micklich, Den Text der Rezension finden Sie hier Sprecher Matthias Pöhlmann Schnitt Jupp Stepprath, Realisation Uwe Kullnick Hat Ihnen diese Rezension gefallen, mögen Sie vielleicht auch diese Sendung Kommen Sie doch einmal in unsere Live-Aufzeichnungen in München --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hoerbahn/message
Mit Prof. Henrike Lähnemann und Prof. Eva Schlotheuber gehen wir bei DAS! auf historische Zeitreise ins Mittelalter: Wie haben dort die Menschen gelebt? Wie war ihr Alltag? Was wissen wir über die geheimnis- und machtvolle Gemeinschaft der Frauen in norddeutschen Klöstern? Die beiden Wissenschaftlerinnen haben ihre faszinierenden Einblicke jetzt im Buch "Unerhörte Frauen" zusammengefasst. Auf dem Roten Sofa erzählen sie von spektakulären Quellenfunden aus Tagebüchern und Briefen und darüber, wie Frauen im Mittelalter dachten, glaubten und liebten.
Ihre Stimmen verhallten hinter massiven Klostermauern - unzugänglich für die Nachwelt und damit dem Vergessen überlassen. Bis vor einigen Jahren, als im Zuge neuer Forschungen ein erstes Echo der lange Zeit stillen Frauen zu vernehmen war. Die Historikerin Prof. Dr. Eva Schlotheuber von Universität Düsseldorf und die Philologin Prof. Dr. Henrike Lähnemann von der University of Oxford haben in einem gemeinsamen Projekt alte Quellenbestände erschlossen und erforscht. Darin werden die lange Zeit ungehörten Stimmen von Nonnen im Mittelalter wieder lebendig. Stimmen, die bislang ungekannte Geschichten erzählen und ein neues Bild vom Alltag in mittelalterlichen Frauenklöstern bieten. Die beiden Mediävistinnen haben diese unerhörten Geschichten in einem gemeinsam geschriebenen Buch zusammengetragen. Für uns ein guter Grund, in einer neuen Ausgabe von Zu Gast bei L.I.S.A. mehr über die voces feminarum aus der mittelalterlichen Klausur zu erfahren.

Henrike Lähnemann’s Inaugural Lecture for the Chair in German Medieval Literature and Linguistics. Lecture delivered on Thursday 21 January 2016 in the Taylorian Institute. The subject of the lecture is a new acquisition by the Bodleian Library in Oxford, a psalter written ca. 1500 by the nun Margaret Hopes in the Cistercian convent of Medingen near Lüneburg, MS. Don. e. 248. The hypothesis advanced is that the nuns use the materiality of their prayer-book as the embodiment of their devotion.
