"Speculum Virginum The Speculum Virginum (""Jungfrauenspiegel"" ""Mirror of Virgins"") is a 12th-century didactic treatise on female monastic life. The original text dates to the mid 12th century and was possibly composed at the Augustinian Abbey of Andernach, founded by Richard, abbot of Springiersbach, for his sister in 1128. Richard appointed one Conrad as spiritual advisor to his sister, and some scholars have suggested Conrad as the text's author. The work provides one of the earliest comprehensive theologies of cloistered religious life. The document mainly consists of a hypothetical dialogue between Peregrinus, a male religious teacher, and Theodora, a female disciple."
