The Birgittines of Syon Abbey

This volume examines the Birgittine Order of nuns as producers and
readers of texts in Britain from the fifteenth to the early
sixteenth century, through an analysis of medieval manuscripts and
early printed books. It highlights the community's response to
teachings of St Birgitta, the dissemination of Birgittine texts,
and Lady Margaret Beaufort's role as intermediary between Syon and
the outside world.
