      Hey #medievaltwitter, I have encountered a strange statistic in a 40 year old paper, and a student of mine was asking about it because she questioned it too. It says that "The most scholarly nuns became abbesses, often at the early ages of 12 to 14." I am suspect of this.

      There is no citation, and no specific examples. The abbesses the author talks about in her paper were all likely to be older when they became abbess so I am wondering where this idea came from.

      ...I just want to say: that’s really fucking weird. Romanticized piety?

      No idea. This paper was published in an pedagogical journal about the history of women's education. So, it's brief. I don't blame my students for choosing it...it's the first hit when you search medieval learning on JSTOR.

      But also...all the sources this person used are from like, 30 years before she wrote this article too.

      It is not a very good article. I didn't really mark them down for using it, although one student asked me ahead of time if it was a good article and I said to use something else. I should have sent an email out about it beforehand, but oh well.

          I didn't anticipate so many using it for their assignment.

          Well, you can’t predict everything they might use. I guess send a class wide email stating it’s a crap article and try to find something else?
