Mary Ward und ihre Gründung. Die Quellentexte bis 1645, and: Mary Ward (1585–1645): A Briefe Relation . . . with Autobiographical Fragments and a Selection of Letters

Ursula Dirmeier’s four-volume scholarly edition of primary-source texts by and pertaining to Mary Ward (1585–1645) is an exemplary accomplishment. Most of these texts have not been published previously and thus appear here for the first time to a wider scholarly public. Dirmeier modestly notes (p. 1:7) that this edition should be regarded as the starting point for more detailed study of Ward’s work.
