Crown and Veil is the product of an outstanding international collaboration of scholars, and it offers an introduction to a world hitherto only glimpsed in its complexity and richness. Every aspect of the nuns' social, institutional, artistic, liturgical, economic, and spiritual life is brought into play. The book is as beautiful as it is comprehensive." - Rachel Fulton, University of Chicago. 344pp Hardcover
