	Corvey - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		CORVEY, a place in the Prussian province of Westphalia, on the Weser, a mile north of the town of Hoxter, with which it communicates by an avenue of lime trees.
		The bones of St Vitus, the patron saint of Saxony, were removed thither according to legend in 836, but apart from this attraction, Corvey became the centre of Christianity in Saxony and a nursery of classical studies.
		The abbot was a prince of the Empire, and Corvey was made a bishopric in 1783.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbey of Corvey
		Corvey soon became famous, and its abbots ranked as princes of the empire.
		In its school were cultivated all the arts and sciences, and it produced many celebrated scholars.
		(These "Annales" must not be confounded with the forged "Chronicon Corbejense" which appeared in the nineteenth century.) The school of Corvey declined after the fifteenth century, but the abbey itself continued until 1803, when it was secularized and given to the family of Oranje-Nassau.

	The New Hampshire - Weighing the weather: curtailing operations at UNH
		Corvey admits that they have made the wrong decision in the past, such as Monday, Feb. 28, when the University curtailed operations at 12 p.m.
		Corvey said, "We should have curtailed that morning, but because the decision has to be made by around 4 a.m., we were making our decision based on what was going on in the night and what was then predicted for the next morning.
		Corvey continued, "In fact, the storm did not behave as predicted and the campus was not at all ready for faculty, staff and students.

	Abbey of Corvey
		The Imperial Abbey of Corvey (German: Fürstabtei Corvey) was a Benedictine Abbey on the River Weser, 2km northwest of Höxter, now in North Rhine-Westphalia.
		Under the guidance of abbots drawn from the Imperial family, Corvey soon became famous for its school, which produced many celebrated scholars, among them the 10th century Saxon historian Widukind of Corvey.
		One striking feature of the collection is the large number of English Romantic novels, some in unique copies, for in Britain fiction was more often borrowed than bought, and was read to pieces in the lending libraries.

	Welcome to Cardiff Corvey: History
		RIGINS OF Founded by Ludwig the Pious, son of Charlemagne, in 822, the Benedictine abbey of Corvey became a significant centre of northwestern European culture in the ninth and tenth centuries.
		The collection held at Corvey consists of approximately 73,000 volumes, forming one of the largest private collections in Europe, and since 1987 it is a listed cultural monument of Germany; Corvey as a whole will probably soon become part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage of the world.
		The University of Innsbruck is conducting a study of the German historical novel, Sheffield Hallam University is addressing the issue of women’s authorship, and Paderborn and Cardiff are co-operating on a thorough-going assessment of the novel and its reception during the period of Corvey’s greatest density.

		The Corvey Project at Sheffield Hallam University was founded in 1995, with a grant from the British Academy, as a group project investigating women's writing of the romantic era.
		There is no remaining evidence of the buying policy, but the collection at Schloss Corvey, with its astonishingly indiscriminate accumulation of popular fiction, provides fascinating evidence of forms of literary reception and bibliomania in a state of transition, poised between the enlightenment ideal of a universal library and the emergent mass book market.
		The fact that the Corvey Project is based on a specific body of texts is one of its chief interests in my view.

	Corvey Outlines State of Finances at UNH
		However, there is much to be optimistic about, including the university’s stellar efforts in attracting federal research money, its past success and aspirations for private fundraising, and a major initiative to reduce the university’s reliance on expensive energy sources.
		Corvey recently provided an overview of the university’s financial health, explaining how the university generates revenue and what areas are her greatest concerns for the future.
		And although utilities account for only 2.6 percent, or $11 million, of total expenditures for FY 05, Corvey said the area is scaring her, given the skyrocketing cost of heating oil and natural gas.

		There is also a pedagogical facet to the project, through study units which enable undergraduates to learn research skills by 'adopting' authors from the collection, and producing a portfolio of documents, bibliography and critical interpretation to add to the database.
		Although there is no surviving documentation of the collecting policy, the princely library at Corvey, with its astonishingly indiscriminate itself provides fascinating evidence of forms of literary reception and bibliomania in a state of transition.
		Another aspect generally relevant to the Corvey Website, and of many openly accessible academic digital resources, is the possibility, indeed the existing reality they present, of a university without walls.

	Corvey - Sinopien und Stuck - Buchbeschreibung Rhema Kunstgeschichte
		In 1992 the sensational discovery of wall sketches (sinopia) for six life size figures was made in the Westwerk of the former monastery church of Corvey.
		The technical data leaves no doubt that the sketches and the figures – which except for a few fragments are lost – are from the Carolingian period, more precisely from the time of Abbot Bovo (879–890), during whose period the Westwerk was consecrated in 885.
		Besides the fragmentary reliefs above the entrances to the crypt in the cathedral in Hildesheim, the findings in Corvey are futher evidence of the use of stucco sculptures in Carolingian churches in northern Germany.

	JULIE SHAFFER
		It is in fact true that most of the novels from Corvey I've read involve young women of marriageable age who either end up married at their stories' end or dead if marriage turns out to be impossible for them.
		I would hesitate to argue that these novels have slipped out of publication and hence from our attention because of plotting by male publishers who recognized that these novels attack patriarchy both overtly and covertly, the latter by providing female characters who survive despite their departure from behaviors most likely to uphold patriarchal society.
		When further research in the Corvey and other collections occurs, it can become the work of as many of us as possible to question our assumptions about and our constructions of women's role in the literature and culture of the time, and, therefore, what that culture was actually like.

		In 1999 the University of Nebraska Libraries acquired the extensive microfiche archive known as the "Edition Corvey." This remarkable archive of Romantic-era literary texts in English, French, and German comprises nearly 9,000 volumes, many of which are exceedingly scarce.
