Summary: | The liturgy of Dominican nuns in Castile and, by extension, the liturgy within nunneries in the Iberian Peninsula, has been scarcely researched and it remains almost unknown. As a consequence, the study of art and architecture in relation to liturgy has made little impact in the historiography of women´s monasticism in this area. In this article we discuss the issues of the application of this methodology in the research of the Dominican nunneries of the Province of Spain, stressing the necessity of adopting an integrating approach, which takes into account the rare liturgical books surviving, together with other documentary sources and also the buildings themselves. Then, following this methodology, we try to reconstruct the performance of the complex liturgy of Compline and the use of monastic spaces with this purpose within these nunneries. Finally, we also discuss the spaces for doing penance and the likely influence of some ultra-rigorist movements both on those practices and on the construction of these buildings. |
