Is the VMS a work of female authors ?

[DG97EEB]

While the study is limited in scope (is this only in Scandinavia?)

We use the Benedictine Colophon Catalog. .... From 1965 to 1982, the Benedictines at the monastery in Le Bouveret, Switzerland, published a catalog titled "Colophons".

If you've not had a chance to use Consensus yet, it's rather good... They have agreements with most of the major science publishers now and you can do very detailed literature searches. They also offer as an MCP so those of us that use GPT and others in our research can use this to avoid the dangers of fabricated citations. 

Earlier I asked it for anything about female scribes.. report attached... 

Sara Poor's book "The Literary Agency of Medieval Women: Kunigund Niklasin and the Library of St. Catherine’s in Nuremberg" looks particularly interesting if anyone can find a copy

"It explores the unique record of literary agency that has survived from the Dominican convent of St. Catherine in Nuremberg through the writing work of the prolific nun, Kunigund Niklasin (d. 1457), scribe and compiler of at least 31 books by the 1450s, and the librarian for her convent’s large library (close to six hundred German-language manuscripts). Appointed to the office of librarian sometime after the convent underwent “observant reform” in 1428 (which advocated a return to strict observance to the monastic rule), Niklasin created two inventories of the convent’s books, one of privately owned books, the other of the convent library. The latter was part of a manual designed to facilitate table reading, the reading (aloud) that took place during daily meals.".
