 Notable Augustinian nuns include composer Vittoria Aleotti (who composed the first sacred music by a woman ever to appear in print), mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich whose book "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" was an important influence to Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ, and the mystic Saint Rita of Cascia.Whilst not being a branch of the Augustinian family, the Canons Regular of St. Augustine, who have been known in English as the "Black Canons," or the "Augustinian Canons," constitute one of the oldest and most prestigious Latin Rite orders.This ancient order is made up of nine independent congregations confederated internationally in 1959, and the Confederation of Canons Regular of St Augustine elects an Abbot Primate.
