Bartolomea Riccoboni

Bartolomea Riccoboni (ca 1369-1440) was a Dominican nun in the convent of Corpus Domini in Venice.[1] She wrote a chronicle of the convent, and a necrology.[2] She has been studied as a good example of the beginnings of women's writings in the late medieval mendicant orders.[3] In addition to matters relating to her own convent, she records the events of the Papal Schism, in which she is an adherent of Gregory XII.
