OverviewCenturies of Silence: The Discovery of the Salzinnes Antiphonal showcases an exceptional cultural artifact made in 1554-55 for Dame Julienne de Glymes, prioress of the Cistercian Abbey of Salzinnes, and rediscovered in the Patrick Power Library at St. Marys University in 1998. The liturgical text, plainchant music, and rare full-page illuminations make for a rich document of a time, the Renaissance; a place, Wallonia; and a community of cloistered women who come alive in this manuscript two centuries after the venerable abbeys demise.
