Anchoress and Abbess in Ninth-Century Saxony: The Lives of Liutbirga of Wendhausen and Hathumoda of Gandersheim (review)

Frederick Paxton’s Anchoress and Abbess in Ninth-Century Saxony includes a full-text translation of the Lives of Saint Liutbirga of Wendhausen (VL) and Saint Hathumoda of Gandersheim (VH). In addition to his thorough introduction, Paxton has also included a full-text translation of the poetic Dialogue of Agius on the death of Hathumoda. The ninth-century hagiographies chronicle the lives of Liutbirga, who was the first recorded anchoress of Saxony, and Hathumoda, who was the first abbess of Gandersheim, while the Dialogue was a letter of consolation to Hathumoda’s grieving sisters.
