Gender and Exemplarity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain gathers a series of studies on the interplay between gender, sanctity and exemplarity in regard to literary production in the Iberian peninsula. The first section examines how women were con¬strued as saintly examples through narratives, mostly composed by male writers; the second focuses on the use made of exemplary life-accounts by women writers in order to fashion their own social identity and their role as authors. The volume includes studies on relevant models (Mary Magdalen, Virgin Mary, living saints), means of transmission, sponsorship and agency (reading circles, print, patronage), and female writers (Leonor López de Córdoba, Isabel de Villena, Teresa of Ávila) involved in creating textual exemplars for women.

Este trabajo ofrece la primera edición crítica del libro impreso más antiguo de mística femenina en castellano: el Libro de la oración de María de Santo Domingo, terciaria dominica que vivió en la Ávila de finales del Medievo y principios del Renacimiento. Acompaña dicha edición un estudio introductorio que reflexiona sobre diversos aspectos importantes de la obra, aportando datos nuevos sobre las crónicas de la fundación de Aldeanueva, el lenguaje de las lágrimas en esta mujer visionaria y la interpretación musical de la segunda visión del Libro de la oración. Se desbroza así el contexto que vio nacer la obra y las sucesivas interpretaciones de la vida de su autora, gracias a la incorporación de testimonios no explorados, y se reflexiona sobre el llamativo protagonismo que la música tiene en el texto, en la espiritualidad de María de Santo Domingo y en la de toda una época.
