THE JULIAN SUMMIT,
KILCULLEN, IRELAND
REPORT ON EDITING JULIAN OF NORWICH
rom 2-10 September 1998, three publishing Julian
scholars met together in Ireland, one already living there,
another coming from America through storms which delayed her
flight, the third coming from Italy. Sisters Anna Maria Reynolds, C.P .,
Ritamary Bradley , and Julia Bolton Holloway worked together
on a two volume edition of the extant manuscripts of the Showings
of Julian of Norwich. On 9 September they were joined byAmbrose
Tinsley , O.S.B., himself the author of a book on Julian
of Norwich, who drove over from nearby Benedictine Glenstall
Abbey to join them.
Sister Anna Maria Reynolds, C.P., of Kilcullen, who edited all the Julian manuscripts during the war years for her M.A., and D.Phil. Theses, University of Leeds. Subsequent editions have used her work, her sigla.
Sisters Anna Maria Reynolds C.P., Ritamary Bradley, S.F.C.C., Julia Bolton Holloway, H.F.
We were very much living Julian's own context of
prayer, sometimes adjourning to say the Rosary in chapel
amidst Irish voices, sometimes interrupting our work to say
the Angelus, led by Sister Anna Maria, and always joining the
Sisters for Matins, Mass, and Vespers. One day we went in
search of St Bridget's Well. Otherwise we were intensely
working at this project together, checking the text and the
translation over and over again, discussing its points and its
contexts, and marvelling at the team of women
scribes and editors who had preceded us, centuries upon
centuries of nuns' careful work, preserving a treasured text
within first Brigittine, then Benedictine cloisters, at first
in England, then in exile on the Continent.
Sisters Ritamary Bradley, S.F.C.C., Anna Maria Reynolds, C.P, Julia Bolton Holloway, H.F.

Sister
Anna Maria Reynolds C.P. is the greatest editor Julian ever
had. During the war years she was transcribing the extant
microfilms with a microscope, a word at a time, for her Leeds
University MA and Ph.D. theses. Subsequent editions are based
on her meticulous work. Now in her nineties, blind, frail, she
has created a fine CD in which she discusses Julian with total
recall of the text. It can be obtained for 12 euro from her at
Cross and Passion Convent, 22 Griffith Avenue, Marino, Dublin
9, EIRE.
