JULIAN OF NORWICH AND THE
ENGLISH NUNS IN EXILE PORTAL
ulian of Norwich's
text was treasured and preserved by, first, Brigittine,
then,
Benedictine nuns, all of whom had to live
in exile following the
Reformation.
In the text of Julian's Showing of
Love the sections with (W) are from the Brigittine Westminster
Cathedral Manuscript, likely written at Syon Abbey in London and which
may have come to Syon Abbey in Lisbon through its Prioress Sister Rose
Lowe, the sections with (P) are from the Paris Manuscript which had
been in Rouen, brought there by the Brigittine nuns in exile under
Elizabeth I, but left behind when they journeyed on to Lisbon, the
sections with (G) being the Dame Margaret Gascoigne, Dame Bridget More
Fragment, the sections with (U) being from the Upholland Fragment, the
sections with (SS) being from the two Sloane Manuscripts, all of these
(SS,U,G) being copied out in the seventeenth century by the English
Benedictine nuns in exile at Cambray and taken by them to Paris.
This website also publishes the writings of the English
Benedictine nuns in exile related to Julian of Norwich.

No longer in exile. The
English Benedictine nuns who had been of the daughter house to Cambrai
in Paris, returned to England with their manuscripts at the French
Revolution and are now to be
found at Colwich Abbey in Staffordshire. Here is Dame
Benedict OSB, who looks after these manuscripts, greeting you:
Their mother house at Cambrai also returned at the French Revolution
and is now Stanbrook Abbey in Worcester. Among the manuscripts they
lost at the French Revolution was likely Julian's autograph Showing of Love manuscript, written
in the Norwich dialect, from which the Sloane manuscripts are copied.
