Written in Catalan verse in approximately 1460, the <em>Espill</em> focuses on two main themes, misogyny and religious material, including the critique of religious personnel but also absolute praise of the Virgin Mary. More than 50 printed copies of the work exist today, an extraordinary number for the period.</p><p>The book argues that readers seemed to interpret contrasting secular misogyny and holy topics as harmonious, with the <em>Espill</em>s misogyny synchronizing with its religious message and materials.

The annotative evidence, previously overlooked, sheds light on misogynys relationship to larger systems of power and on the broader connection between womens depiction in the <em>Espill</em> and in Isabel de Villenas proto-feminist <em>Vita Christi</em>, both of which derived from Valencias same late fifteenth-century social and professional milieu.</p>...7112128Reading Jaume Roigs Espill584614https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reading-jaume-roigs-espill-9781805437253/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7093412/image.jpg?v=638815560065630000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook2025Inglés
