The Abbey of the Holy Ghost is a medieval prose allegory, ca. 1350–1375.[1] The text is preserved in at least 26 manuscripts, often followed by the Charter of the Abbey of the Holy Ghost.[2] The text advises lay women on how to live a contemplative life outside a monastery; the companion Charter speaks of the fall and salvation.[3]
