ABSTRACT
Similarly, in Germany monastic establishments flourished when pontifical supremacy had passed to the Saxons. "Settlements of women were a.lso founded, and gained rapidly in importance, especially in eastern districts, where they rivalled the episcopal sees in wealth and influence" (p. 145). The religious settlement was" an endowed college, where girls were received to be trained, and where women who wished to devote themselves. to learning and the arts permanently resided" (p. 149).
