Als telg van het belangrijke Utrechtse geslacht Lichtenberg werd Bertken Jacobs (1426/1427-1514) in de hoogste kringen opgevoed. Op dertigjarige leeftijd liet zij zich besluiten in een kluis die zij op eigen kosten had laten bouwen aan de Buurkerk, in het hart van Utrecht. Via een venster aan de koorzijde nam zij deel aan de godsdienstoefeningen in de kerk, via een venster aan de straatzijde kreeg ze voedsel en kleding en vroegen mensen haar om raad. Geïnspireerd door de Moderne Devotie schreef Bertken daar meditaties, gebeden, traktaten en liederen. Kort na haar dood zijn deze uitgegeven in het Passieboekje en Suster Bertkens boeck. Het werk van Suster Bertken, dat gerekend wordt tot de literaire canon, wordt hier opnieuw uitgegeven. De Middelnederlandse teksten zijn voorzien van een moderne vertaling en een uitgebreide toelichting. In de inleiding wordt een beeld geschetst van leven en denkwereld van deze bijzondere kluizenares.

The aim of this work is to recover classical Roman assumptions about women on the basis of the surviving linguistic data. The author provides a control to her study of the connotations of the major Latin words for women in the form of a corresponding examination of how Roman authors use the various words for men. The resulting analysis throws light not only on Roman gender vocabulary but also on Roman cultural perceptions of class, moral worth and nationality. Furthermore, the author's detailed discussions of strictly linguistic evidence enable her to offer several original and persuasive insights about the traditional Latin literary representation of women. Understanding the connotative range of gender terms such as homo , vir , femina , mulier also reveals the value judgments made by ancient authors on male and female behaviour and can even be applied as a tool of historical analysis.
