Elsbeth von Oye
摘要
A Dominican nun, Elsbeth von Oye (d. c. 1340) composed and heavily revised several treatises focused primarily on the passionate drama of the soul drawn lovingly (if also through immense suffering) to God. Yet much remains unknown of her place within the German-speaking community (Ötenbach, Zürich) within which she worked, and of the Dominican friar who compiled her vernacular Leben und Offenbarungen.
