Anna von Munzingen (fl. 1327)
German abbess and biographer. Name variations: Anna of Adelshausen. Birth date unknown; died after 1327 at convent of Adelshausen, Germany.
Born into the German nobility, Anna von Munzingen entered the Dominican convent of Adelshausen, probably as a young girl. There, she was highly educated by the convent nuns, and her social rank led her to become abbess of Adelshausen. Although she was not a mystic, Anna was acquainted with many nuns who experienced visions and heard prophetic voices. She gathered their stories in her Chronicle of the Mystics of Adelshausen, composed of 34 biographies of the mystical nuns over whom she presided as abbess.
