SUMMARY: This is a new chapter of a survey aiming at identifying and describing all manuscripts written by women up to the fifteenth century. The site http://edu.let.unicas.it/womediev/ lists 222 manuscripts and 204 names, the overwhelming majority of which belonging to nuns. A general review of the state of the art is followed by the description of five German and Latin manuscripts (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cgm 851, 5139, 5235; Clm 10930, 283331), all dated or datable saec. XIV-XV, and a much older one (Wu¨rzburg, Universita¨tsbibliothek, M. p. th. f. 45), written by a rather mysterious scribe Abirhilt somewhere in Germany during the second half of the eighth century.
