Abstract

Cambridge continues its excellent series with a translation of this fifteenth-century French social writer. Attention has been focused on Christine de Pizan in recent years because of her status as one of the few medieval women scholars, and although she does not approach the brilliance of an Aquinas or John of Salisbury, nonetheless her work represents an important chapter in our understanding of traditional medieval social thought. It also has the advantage of being short and easily accessible for undergraduates.
