Dorothea Schermann
Dorothea Schermann (attested from 1490 to 1537) was a nun in Basel who also stood out as a scribe.
Dorothea Schermann was accepted as a novice in the Poor Clare Monastery of Gnadental in Basel in 1490. In 1515 she appeared as a clerk and in 1518 as an archivist for the monastery. After the abolition of the convent in the wake of the Reformation in 1529, she stayed in Basel, in contrast to Abbess Anna Payer , who was admitted to the Clarissan Monastery of Freiburg im Breisgau with four nuns , and in 1534 she received a settlement of 100 guilders from the city.
