	Medieval Sourcebook: The Plays of Roswitha
		Gandersheim was one of the "free abbeys," that is to say its Abbess held it in direct from the King.
		Although Roswitha claims Terence as her master in the art of play-writing, it cannot be said that she imitates him closely.
		With all their shortcomings, Roswitha's works have a claim to an eminent place in medieval literature, and do honour to her sex, to the age in which she lived, and to the vocation which she followed.

		Little is known about the details of her life: she was probably a continental Saxon aristocrat who spent her entire adult life at Gandersheim Monastery, then a stronghold of the Easternising movement.
		Forgotten after the failure of the "Ottonian Renaissance" and the subsequent estrangement of East and West, she was rediscovered around 1500 by German scholars seeking their nation's literary roots and hailed as "Sappho Germanica"; the first printed edition of her works was illustrated in part by Albrecht Dürer.
		The mediæval "mystery play" tradition was still in the future, and her contemporary Liutprand of Cremona was scandalised to find religiously-themed dramas being produced in Constantinople.

		Second she insists that everybody call her "Roswitha of Gandersheim".

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hroswitha
		In all probability she was of aristocratic birth; her name appears on an old wood engraving as "Helena von Rossow." She seems to have been still in her earliest youth when she entered the convent of Gandersheim, then highly famed for its asceticism and learned pursuits.
		Her extraordinary talents found here wise and judicious cultivation, first under guidance of her teacher Rikkardis, then under the special care and direction of Gerberg, a niece of Otto I and the most accomplished woman of her time, who was later to become her abbess (959-1001).
		Her prolific career as a poetess closed with two greater epics, the one singing the achievements of Otto I (Taten Ottos I) down to the year 962, and the other celebrating the foundation of the monastery of Gandersheim (Die Gründung des Klosters Gandersheim).

		One begins to wonder, however, at 953, when Algiers was founded, Harold Bluetooth became the first Christian king of Denmark and Roswitha of Gandersheim was born.
		Roswitha turns out to be one of countless Teutonic indulgences in "Timetables." For no apparent reason, the reader is told that, in 1377, "playing cards displaced dice in Germany." That in 1808, at Erfurt, Goethe met Napoleon for the first and only time.
