Osbert of Clare: Letter to Adelidis, Abbess of Barking
摘要
Written between 1156 and 1157, Osbert’s letter to Adelidis expresses gratitude for his recent stay at Barking Abbey and contains spiritual guidance structured around multiple religious and mythological figures including Judith and St. Æthelthryth. The letter was likely meant to be read aloud to the Barking community and studied for behavioral instruction.
