Abstract(s)
Neste artigo aborda-se a cultura escrita nos mosteiros cistercienses femininos em Portugal, na Idade Média. Depois de elaborar o estado da arte sobre a matéria, procuramos apresentar as principais linhas de análise em função da dupla vertente dos cartórios e das bibliotecas. São imensas as potencialidades inerentes ao estudo dos cartórios monásticos, desde a produção dos documentos, à sua conservação e organização. Por outro lado, o estudo das bibliotecas dos mosteiros cistercienses femininos e dos livros que as compõem não só abre perspetivas sobre a encomenda, a aquisição e a produção de códices (de uso litúrgico ou outros), mas também sobre as leituras das monjas e a sua literacia.
This article addresses written culture in female Cistercian monasteries in Portugal during the Middle Ages. Following a brief résumé of the state of the art, we shall seek to present the principal lines of analysis according to a two-pronged approach embracing both archives and libraries. The potential inherent to the study of monastic archives, including the production of documents, conservation, and organisation, is immense. Meanwhile, study of Cistercian female monastic libraries and their constituent books not only opens important perspectives on the commissioning, acquisition, and production of codices (for liturgical or other uses), but also on the reading practices of nuns and their literacy.
