Because the nuns of the order did not preach among the people, the need to engage in study was not as immediate or intense as it was for men. They did participate, however, in a number of intellectual activities. Along with sewing and embroidery, nuns often engaged in reading and discussing correspondence from Church leaders. In the Strassburg monastery of St. Margaret, some of the nuns could converse fluently in Latin. Learning still had an elevated place in the lives of these religious. In fact, Margarette Reglerin, a daughter of a wealthy Nuremberg family, was dismissed from a convent because she did not have the ability or will to learn.
What did the nuns not do in the Dominican Order? What was one of the activities the nuns enjoyed? Who was expelled from a nunnery for not wanting to learn? Where was Margarette Reglerin from? What monastery did the nuns belong to who could speak Latin fluently?
