Title :
Dressing up the Nuns: The “Lingua ignota” and Hildegard of Bingen’s Clothing [The author analyzes the words that Hildegard invented for women’s clothing in the “Lingua ignota.” The abbess placed an emphasis on hierarchy and order, marking the special status of virgins. Higley connects this to the crowns and floor-length veils worn by Hildegard’s nuns on feast days. The canoness Tenxwind wrote Hildegard complaining about this practice as immodest. Title note supplied by Feminae.]

Trotter, D. A.
Contributor(s):
Title :
The Anglo-French Lexis of "Ancrene Wisse": A Re-evaluation [The author argues that the text of the "Ancrene Wisse" demonstrates at a very early period a high number of Anglo-French loan words as well as the combination of Anglo-French morphemes, e.g. turpelnesse (Anglo-French stem with Middle English verb ending). This familiarity shows the depth of language contact in England at the beginning of the thirteenth century. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title :
Cantairitz e Trobairitz: A Forgotten Attestation of Old Provençal "Trobairitz" [The author points out another instance of the word "troibairitz," appearing in Terramagnino da Pisa's Occitan grammar, the "Doctrina d'Acort." There it clearly means "poetess" and is presented as the female equivalent of "trobador." The author argues that the word was known to Terramagnino, and he must have seen it in one of his Occitan source texts which is now lost. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
