Monasteries: Career or catastrophe

Who was skilled in the art of writing, and with what and on what? Was it the cowhide on which even the devil wrote? When did the burning sensation begin?
Who actually went to a monastery? Was it more of a privilege or a punishment?

The tour guide Ira Urban encounters witnesses to a long-gone era. Domina Elisabeth von Erxleben, prioress of the Magdalene Monastery, and Hanna, the maid, recount the story of the town where church buildings stood side by side and the writings of the ancient sages.
