Resumen. El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio del rol de las primeras autoras de España. La lista de escritoras que desarrollaron una obra que fue publicada, leída y admirada (así como también cuestionada) es extensa; pero sus nombres han caído en el olvido. Entre la Antigüedad y el siglo XVI, las mujeres de letras desafiaron las convenciones asociadas a su sexo aunque también se inscribieron en una nueva sociedad que permitió su admiración, a menudo desde el escepticismo. Este texto pretende recuperar a estas escritoras marginales, en el pasado y sobre todo en el presente. Para ello se propone hacer un recorrido biobibliográfico por las primeras autoras españolas y un análisis del contexto histórico en que desarrollaron su labor. Acercarse a las mujeres autoras es un tema interesante porque tradicionalmente, e in­cluso hoy, se ha cuestionado la capacidad intelectual femenina. Pero el debate sobre el papel de la mujer en la sociedad y acerca de su educación viene igualmente de lejos. En particular, desde la Baja Edad Media, un nuevo sentir cristiano que fomenta la devoción mariana y la cultura de los trovadores y el amor cortés abrieron nuevos caminos para las féminas. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar estos fenómenos, y sus ejemplos más destacados, en la España cristiana.Palabras clave: Escritoras, España, Historia de las mujeres, Historia de la literatura.Abstract. The aim of this work is to study the role of Spain’s first female authors. The list of writers who developed a work that was published, read and admired (as well as questioned) is extensive; but their names have fallen into oblivion. Between Antiquity and the 16th century, women of letters defied the conventions associated with their sex although they also joined a new society that allowed their admiration, often from skepticism. This text tries to recover these marginal writers, in the past and especially in the present. In order to do so, it is pro­posed to make a biobibliographical journey through the first Spanish authors and an analysis of the historical context in which they developed their work. Approaching women authors is an interesting subject because traditionally, and even today, the intellectual capacity of women has been questioned. But the debate about the role of women in society and about their educa­tion also comes from afar. In particular, since the Late Middle Ages, a new Christian sentiment that fosters Marian devotion and the culture of troubadours and courteous love opened new paths for women. The aim of this work is to study these phenomena, and their most prominent examples, in Christian Spain.Keywords: Women writers, Spain, History of women, History of literature.

Abstract This paper offers an overview of the history of the axiom forma dat esse, which was commonly quoted during the Middle Ages to describe formal causality. The first part of the paper studies the origin of this principle, and recalls how the ambiguity of Boethius’s first formulation of it in the De Trinitate was variously interpreted by the members of the School of Chartres. Then, the paper examines the various declensions of the axiom that existed in the late Middle Ages, and shows how its evolution significantly follows the progressive decline of the Aristotelian model of formal causality.

The late Middle Ages witnessed the creation of numerous fencing books, mostly in Germany, illustrating the many different techniques, weapons, styles, strategies, and the movements, as Patrick Leiske discussed only recently in his Höfisches Spiel und tödlicher Ernst (2018; see my review here in vol. 32). Some of the true masters and teachers of this sport and fighting technique were Johannes Liechtenauer, Peter von Danzig, Sigmund Ringeck, and Hans Talhoffer, whom Leiske also discusses in a separate chapter.

As is well known, St. Francis of Assisi heroically embraced evangelical poverty, renouncing material goods and living in abject poverty, in imitation of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, through his writings and oral testimonies collected by his disciples, the saint fervently urged Christians to live to some degree voluntary poverty , of which Christ was the perfect model. By basing this reading on some Poverello’s quotations, this paper intends to show the potential impact that these exhortations from San Francisco to poverty may have had in the late medieval Spanish painting, in some iconographic themes so significantly Franciscan as the Nativity and the Passion of the Redeemer. Through the analysis of a large set of paintings representing both issues, we will attempt to put into light if the teachings of St. Francis on evangelical poverty are reflected somehow in Spanish painting of the late Middle Ages.
