ISBN: 9780860788737 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) After an introductory general essay on the life cycle and status of women in Byzantine society, this volume focuses on female religious life, with particular emphasis on the role of convents - as spiritual sanctuary, refuge for women in need, or provider of charitable services.

Such phenomena as double monasteries, the conversion of a monastery to a nunnery, and women's economic...
