My favorite #ChristineDePizan (d.1364) quote:
‘If it were customary to send daughters to school like sons, & if they were taught the natural sciences, they would learn as thoroughly & understand the subtleties of all the arts & sciences as well as sons.” HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
This miniature shows the medieval author Christine de Pizan presenting her Book of Peace to Louis de Guyenne. The manuscript dates to 1470, and the illustration was painted by the Flemish artist Jean Hennecart. #ChristinedePizan #medievalmanuscripts
« Both writers diverge from the idea of friendship as a mirror, instead showing how women with different skills and strengths can collaborate on shared projects. » daily.jstor.org/medieval-fri...

A medieval-style illustration shows a woman in a long blue gown and white headdress seated at a wooden desk, reading an open book. The scene is framed by an ornate, parchment-like decorative border. To the right of the illustration is a large quote in dark blue text: “Do not let the judgments of the world mislead you. What is praiseworthy is not always applauded, and what is condemned is not always guilty.” Beneath the quote is an attribution reading “Christine de Pizan,” followed by smaller text citing Le Livre de la Cité des Dames (The Book of the City of Ladies), Part II, Chapter 12, written in Paris, France, 1405 CE.

1487-1494 Pero da Covilhã, envoyé par le roi Jean II de Portugal pour reconnaître l'océan Indien et entrer en contact avec le Prêtre Jean, parvient finalement à la cour éthiopienne.
two books by Christine de Pizan (titles: "Ich, Christine" & "Das Buch von der Stadt der Frauen") and a card reading AvivA on a wooden floor. AvivA is the name of the publisher.
... fabulous food for thought: two gorgeous books by #ChristineDePizan, published by #AvivA 💚 (will still need to find some time to read, though 😬) ...

Life & works of #ChristineDePizan @ciditcharlotte.bsky.social talks to @onthetudortrail.bsky.social about her writings, ideas on women's roles in society, & influence on the Tudor court. Fascinating

In fine, c’est ni la #féminisation elle-même ni l’absence de possibilité, c’est tout simplement parce que le #français (récent : à son époque [1364-±1430], #ChristineDePizan se désignait #écrivaine) s’est creusé un trou dont il ne sait pas sortir.

One of my favourite details in #ChristinedePizan 's manuscripts: a tiny marginal note in her own hand, saying 'ycy' ('ici' or 'here'), indicating to the illuminator where to place the image.
From @labnf.bsky.social MS fr. 848, the earliest surviving copy of the Epistre Othea, c. 1400.
Je suis toujours (plus sporadiquement) sur ma lecture de La cité des dames de Christine de Pizan.
