This French text was first printed in Paris between c. 1504 and 1525 but is most likely older, dating from the last years of the fifteenth century. The text was written by a religious woman (owing to the use of female forms in French) and destined for lay women. The text shows that the author expected lay women to be able to read, write, and possess other books with religious texts. It also contains an argument in favor of the superiority of lay women’s spirituality (obtained by reading) in comparison to the vanity of clerics and theologians.
