This chapter explores the liturgical musical universe of the late medieval female Dominican house in Aveiro (Portugal), in the context of the convent’s patronage situation, and its position in the Dominican Observant movement. The main analytical focus is on the convent’s seventeen surviving liturgical chant books, which also are a testimony to the book production in situ during the lifetime of prioress Maria de Ataíde.
