Furthermore, the Monastery of Pedralbes helped with the props (costumes, objects and furniture) needed. The latter, an EPO of our project, also allowed us to use the privileged spaces of the monastery of Santa Maria de Pedralbes in Barcelona, where the re-creation was filmed.<\/p>\n<p>The end result is a video that strings together the different scenes in this ritual of death and the choice of the new abbess. It is a documentary that stresses the gestures (of obedience to the new abbess, respect for the deceased prelate), the music, the silence and the tolling of the bells that accompany the main players (nuns, beneficiate chaplains, canons, gravediggers, bishop, president of the Tarraconense and Cesaragustana Benedictine Congregation, notary, etc.) in their procession through the spaces (cloister, upper and lower choir, chapterhouses, monastery doorway, etc.). In short, it was a major effort to turn the historical scholarly research, performed and promoted at the university, into a product of historical dissemination framed within the digital humanities.<\/p>\n<p>We are aware of the difficulties of the re-creation\u2014which was conditioned by the conservation of the documentation and the profuseness of its information\u2014as well as the license we needed to take, such as recording a Benedictine ritual in a Clarissan monastery, the material possibilities and the budget. Nonetheless, the result, which is the outcome of a collective effort and the scholarly rigour that guided us at all times, far outstrips the initial expectations, entailed a great deal of learning for the project members both individually and collectively and, most importantly, yielded a rigorous scholarly product with the extraordinary potential to widely share the scholarship on the history of female spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fdgOtRTxtjk&amp;t=5s&amp;ab_channel=ACUB%C3%80mbitCulturaldeBenedictines&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8168&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8166&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8169&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8167&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>CREDITS: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Production<br \/>\n<\/strong>Monastic Landscapes.
