| Summary: | In this contribution I present a corpus of manuscripts, printed books and archival material that is witness to the book- and text-production of Chatarina de Flouwijn (1576-1657), and her confessor Servatius Smets (c. 1590-1676). The corpus sheds some light on the religious identity of two persons connected to the Thabor monastery in seventeenth-century Malines. Chatarina lived as a regular canoness in the little-known Thabor monastery in Malines. Servatius Smets, an Augustinian Hermit from Malines, was the confessor of Thabor from 1627 until his death in 1676. Smets was the author of a large number of extensive sermons, as well as of some small printed books with guidelines for the spiritual life. Chatarina copied series of Smets' sermons in two manuscripts that have recently come to light (MSS Ruusbroecgenootschap, Neerl. 38 and Auxerre, Bibliothèque Jacques-Lacarrière, ms. 42). She furthermore owned a copy of the mystagogical dialogue Middelspraecke (MS Antwerp, Ruusbroecgenootschap, Neerl. 36). Finally, she expressed some of her views on the religious life in general and that in Thabor in particular in surviving visitation reports. |
