From a Master to a Laywoman: A Feminine Manual of Self-Help Cabré, Montserrat This article analyzes master Joan’s Tròtula, a late fourteenth-century Catalan text on women’s health addressed to an infanta of Aragon which survives in one late fourteenth-century manuscript. It presents a hypothesis regarding its genre, its composition and use at the Catalan-Aragonese Court, and its later fortuna. It considers how Master Joan inscribed in the text a conception of women’s medical needs, while also defining lay women’s involvement in maintaining their health. 2022-12-19T08:05:07Z 2022-12-19T08:05:07Z 2000 journal article Cabré Pairet, Montserrat. «From a master to a laywoman : a feminine manual of self-help».
