• W2963856088 abstract "Reviewed by: Chariots of Ladies: Francesc Eiximenis and the Court Culture of Medieval and Early Modern Iberia by Núria Silleras-Fernández Jesús R. Velasco Chariots of Ladies: Francesc Eiximenis and the Court Culture of Medieval and Early Modern Iberia. By Núria Silleras-Fernández. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2015. How to think with all the literature on women produced during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in Latin and several Romance languages? This question is more difficult than it would appear at first sight. Only a small portion of this literature has been produced by women—let's say Christine de Pizan or Teresa de Cartagena—while the bulk of it was written by men. Men, in many cases, dressed in clerical clothes, and whose contact with theoretical thinking about women was mainly theological-political, that is, whose concept and purview of what a good life should be for a woman is that dictated by the soft secularization of heavy and tough theological inquiry into the inferiority of women at all possible levels. Such inferiority comes presented under the guise of a conceptual map, presided over by the notion of chastity, which takes on different forms and meanings according to the texts that theorize about it or that find their support on it as their central pillar. Chastity can be a political concept, a theological one, a legal one, or even an allegory of a whole theory of history—think for instance of the rape of Lucretia, or the rape of La Cava, where the first gives rise to the Republic of Rome, ending with the tyrannical monarchy of the Tarquins, and the second ends with the Visigothic Iberian empire. Thinking with the literature on women during those two centuries is an overwhelming experience. Rapidly, the conceptual map of such literature falls into the dialectical trap of the attack and the defense. Treatises on defense of virtuous women abound. Only virtuous, or clear women deserve defense, while the others do not even exist. Even those authors who suggest themselves as the ultimate gatekeepers of the integrity of the women make distinctions, are demure about extending their defense beyond a few names, or, at any rate, attempt a defense from the parti pris of the inferiority of women, of defending something that is in itself not defensible. When dealing with treatises authored by men, scholars have frequently praised the women-defending authors for allowing some women to participate in public life, even if those treatises end up creating a closed space for women's political, moral, and public [End Page 149] activity. People admire Boccaccio for his generous deference toward the value of women in his De mulieribus Claris, while the same people hate Boccaccio for his misogynistic attack on women in his Corbaccio. They maybe do not want to realize that there is no difference between the first and the second, that there is no way to say that the first is the work of a generous youngster, while the second is the result of a life of frustrations as expressed by an old-timer. The most probable truth is that the attack and the defense are the same thing, the same movement of patriarchal mansplaining. Only the semantic fields are different. Núria Silleras-Fernández's book deals with some works on, and for, women of one of the most crucial writers of late medieval Iberia, the Franciscan Francesc Eiximenis, in particular the Llibre de les dones (or Book About Women), and the Scala Dei (The Ladder to God). As Silleras-Fernández points out, Eiximenis was a widely read and translated author, and his works—in particular the first one, El llibre de les dones—were not only read, but also disseminated and translated many times. El llibre de les dones became a center of reference for a changing idea of virtuous women between the date of its composition during the last quarter of the fourteenth century, its first translation as Libro de las donas in Spanish for Queen Isabel the Catholic, and its second translation, as Carro de las donas, for Catherine of Habsburg. In the over 150 years between these three..." @default.
