Syon Abbey was a well-connected and wealthy double monastery in late-medieval England. The bookish Bridgettine house made a major contribution to women’s spiritual textual culture. The sisters and brothers both had substantial libraries: many of the brothers were academics and wrote and collected books; and the sisters owned, shared, and commissioned manuscripts and early printed texts both individually and as a community. When the community closed in 2011, their extensive library and archives were transferred to the University of Exeter’s Special Collections, where students and scholars can consult hundreds of manuscripts, printed books, records, and personal documents of the sisters. In addition to researching the connections the community had to Lancastrian and Tudor politics, scholars have also studied many Syon texts as examples of women’s participation in reading and book ownership, the role the Abbey played in early print culture, and the community’s dissemination of continental mystical and devotional works. Future work will continue to unearth the Abbey’s post-Reformation book history and to expand our understanding of the global impact of the medieval Bridgettines and the books associated with the Abbey.
