What it is
Devotional writings and a translation with commentary of a monastic rule, by a prodigy who publicly defended theses in philosophy at twelve.
Why it lasted
Among the first women in Europe to receive a doctorate, and a rare case of a woman's academic training continuing inside the cloister.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
