Chapter from the book: Delcorno P. & Roest B. 2023. Observant Reforms and Cultural Production in Europe: Learning, Liturgy and Spiritual Practice.
This chapter investigates surviving sermon collections once kept in female houses connected to the Devotio moderna movement. This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the preachers (both spiritual guides attached to these communities and outside preachers invited to preach there), about the role of the women pertaining to these religious houses in the codification of the sermons, and more in general about the ways in which Observant reformers and their sermons (in particular Middle Dutch sermons that can be traced back to Observant Friars Minor) circulated in the Low Countries at large.
