In Cistercian Stories for Nuns and Monks , Martha G. Newman shows how Engelhard of Langheim's late twelfth-century tales about Cistercian monks illuminate the religiosity of Cistercian nuns. Engelhard's writings locate a sacramental value in everyday objects and behaviors and teach a spiritual formation that nuns and monks could share.


Martha G. Newman is Associate Professor in the Departments of History and Religious Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
