Bartholom us Aich was a South German organist and composer in the 17th century. Little is known about his life originally from the village of Uttenweiler near Biberach an der Ri in Upper Swabia, he was the organist of the convent of canonesses in Lindau Lake Constance. His only surviving work is the musical dramatic festival play Armamentarium comicum amoris et honoris The Comic Armory of Love and Honor , written on the occasion of the wedding of Count Maximilian Willibald of Waldburg Wolfegg Maximilian Willibald of Waldburg Wolfegg and Clara Isabella Princess of Aarschot and Arenberg, that took place in Lindau on December 6, 1648. Armamentarium combined the Society of Jesus Jesuit theatre tradition with the Italian monody of the early Baroque music Baroque period and was performed by pupils of the Lindau Jesuit college on December 8, 1648. It is one of the earliest surviving examples of an opera tic work performed in Germany. The libretto by an unknown author is highly allegorical and focussed on the heraldic symbols that the combined coat of arms of the bridal couple would contain. These allegories are introduced by biblical figures from the Old Testament . Since that custom made plot was not appropriate for performances beyond the original purpose, the work vanished into oblivion. It was recently rediscovered in the musical collections of the Dukes of Waldburg Wolfegg and performed at Schloss Wolfegg on September 11, 2005, by the Hassler Consort ensemble, conducted by Franz Raml .

Royal Doulton Bunnykins Chinaware and Figurine s are popular ceramic designs manufactured as nursery dishes and collectible statuettes. The chinaware line originated with artwork by Mary Barbara Bailey , the daughter of Cuthbert Bailey, general manager of Doulton during the 1930s. Unbeknownst to the public, Mary Barbara Bailey was not a professional illustrator, but a nun in the Augustinian Canonesses of the Lateran. ref http www.independent.co.uk life style run rabbit run barbara vernon interview 1116283.html ref Introduced in 1934, Bunnykins tableware depicted Mr. and Mrs. Bunnykins and other rabbits dressed in human clothing, in colourful rural and small town English scenes, transfer printed on white china. The earliest pieces, signed by Vernon, are quite rare and highly prized. Bunnykins china was used by Queen Elizabeth II Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret and thus became a popular present given as christening and birthday gifts in middle class English homes. Figurines by Charles Noke featuring various Bunnykins characters began in 1939. The first line consisted of only six designs. All factories were closed for the duration of World War II, bringing production to a halt, and thus these six figurines have also become very rare. Following the war, production of Bunnykins figurines did not restart until Royal Doulton purchased the Beswick Pottery Beswick factory in 1969. After this, Bunnykins were numbered with the prefix DB and are still produced to this day. The Bunnykins figurine line is famous for the large number of professions, historical and literary figures, and traditional costumes interpreted as rabbits. Named figurines include Policeman Bunnykins, Nurse Bunnykins, Sir Lancelot Bunnkykins, Betsy Ross Bunnykins, Lapplander Bunnykins, Fortune Teller Bunnykins, and more. In 2005 a Bunnykins figurine honoring Barbara Vernon was produced. Titled Sister Barbara, it depicts a cloistered nun at her drawing table, presumably painting the original Bunnykin ... more details

Mary Howard, of the Holy Cross born 28 December 1653 died at Rouen , 21 March 1735 was an English nun of the Poor Clares . Life She was a daughter of Robert Howard playwright Sir Robert Howard , a younger son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Berkshire , in whose home Mary s early youth was spent. At the age of eighteen, to escape the attentions of Charles II of England , she went to Paris, under the assumed name of Talbot, and was placed in the Benedictine convent of Val de Grace to learn French. Here she was received into the Catholic Church, a step which brought her into disfavour with Lady Osborne, her guardian in Paris. Remaining staunch, she was finally permitted to retire to the convent of the Canonesses of St. Augustine at Chaillot , near Paris, where she remained several years, until her admission into the English convent of Poor Clares at Rouen, under the name of Parnel, to safeguard further the secret of her identity. Here she was made successively mistress of the choir, second and first portress, the latter a position involving the management of the temporal affairs of the convent, and in 1702, on the resignation of Mother Winefrid Clare Giffard, abbess since 1670, she became abbess of the community.

Asmild Abbey was a house of Augustinian nuns with a close connection to the Augustinian canons at Viborg Cathedral in north central Jutland , Denmark . History The relatively large church, which predated the nunnery, had its beginnings about 1090 as a parish church dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch during the reign of King Olaf I of Denmark , sometimes called Olaf Hunger. It functioned as the cathedral of Viborg, Denmark Viborg until the new cathedral at Viborg was finished in 1133. It was constructed of granite and limestone in the Romanesque architecture Romanesque style with rounded arches and few windows. The church was of an irregular shape with a nave, one side aisle with an apse, and a square choir also with an apse. The most significant event in the history of the church was the murder of Bishop Eskild of Viborg in front of the main altar of the Asmild church in 1133. The murder according to the Roskilde Chronicle was to be laid directly at the feet of King Eric II of Denmark nicknamed Erik Emune of Denmark. Bishop Eskild was a supporter of King Niels of Denmark , who was defeated and killed in the Battle of Fodevig by Erik Emune in 1134. Construction began on Asmild Abbey in 1165 just to the south of Asmild church, which was put at the disposal of the Augustinian nuns. The abbey consisted of three ranges and the church functioned as a disconnected north range,in a quadrilateral layout. The abbey was west of the bishop s residence Danish bispeg rd as evidenced by the excavations done in the 1950s. The work of the canonesses under the abbess of the abbey was in daily prayers and meditation and education of young women of noble birth. They were assisted in the day to day life by lay men and women who did much of the house and farm work required to keep the abbey going. It may be assumed that there was a small school on the premises, much like a religious boarding school. It is unclear whether the nuns at Asmild were regular or secular canonesses.
