A Washington Post Notable Book In 1858, a German princess, recently inducted into the convent of SantAmbrogio in Rome, wrote a frantic letter to her cousin, a confidant of the Pope, claiming that she feared for her life. A subsequent investigation by the Churchs Inquisition uncovered the shocking secrets of a convent ruled by a beautiful young mistress, who coerced her novices into lesbian initiation rites and heresies, and who entered into an illicit relationship with a young theologian. Drawing upon written testimony and original documents discovered in a secret Vatican archive, The Nuns of SantAmbrogio is the never-before-told true story of how one woman was able to practice deception, heresy, seduction, and murder in the heart of the Catholic Church.About the AuthorHubert Wolf, born in 1959, is professor of Medieval and Modern Church History at the University of Muenster, Germany.
