Would she still be interested if she learned that the book will be about
a German monastery... and written in German?

I'm not sure whether the records my father transcribed include stuff
dating back to medieval times; at least his original interest was in the
records from late 17th to very early 19th century. The monastery in
question is the (then Cistercian) convent in Vinnenberg, Westphalia.
I'll keep you updated nonetheless.
