The feminization of a medieval spiritual miscellany

If we take a broad definition of the adjective 'spiritual', integrated within the most permeable and generic concept of mystical culture, we can find several Catalan miscellanies from the fourteenth to the fifteenth centuries that are worthy of this term. A careful analysis of the contents of one of them, manuscript d.IV.19 in the Real Biblioteca de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, allows us to observe that it is composed of a series of works that, from the outset, were aimed at a female readership or that have undergone a process of grammatical feminization in this copy. In other words, the masculine morphemes have been changed to others of the feminine gender.
