Title : Le Origini del processo di canonizzazione di Isabella d'Aragona, "Rainha Santa de Portugal," in un atto notarile del 27 luglio 1336 [Isabella of Aragon (d. 1336) earned a reputation for piety and benevolence as queen and dowager queen of Portugal. When the cause for Isabella's canonization was advanced in Rome in the early 17th century, documents from the 14th century were gathered. An additional document is a notarized record of Isabella's miracles dated July 27, 1336. The original cause for canonization may have failed because Isabella, like her paternal kin, favored the Spiritual Franciscans who were opposed to the pope. The appendix presents a notarized document, dated July 27, 1336, about Queen Isabella's sanctity. Title note supplied by Feminae.]

After describing various scholars' interpretations of the dream, the author suggests that the dream demonstrates Clare's intimacy with and dependency upon Francis. It presents a more human side to the heroic woman described in later hagiographical texts. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : Perceptions of Holiness in Thirteenth-Century Italian Painting: Claire of Assisi [The author describes the thirteenth-century historiated dossals (Italian panel paintings that were hung in front of or behind an altar) of Saint Francis and Saint Clare in the church of Santa Chiara in Assisi, Italy. The author argues that the papal codification of sainthood through canonization during the thirteenth century and the hagiographical writings of Thomas of Celano influenced the visual representations of Francis and Clare. The Santa Chiara Dossal at Assisi was the first thirteenth-century painting dedicated to a female monastic; its depiction of Clare as an active and determined woman stands in marked contrast to images of humble and submissive brides of Christ.

Title : De quibusdam mulieribus: Reading Women's History from Hostile Sources [The author analyzes the cases of two women who testified about their religious beliefs to church authorities. In the Abruzzi Catania spoke in support of Celestine V during his canonization process. In Provence Na Prous Boneta testified to her devotion to Peter Olivi, a Franciscan spiritual. Documents like this indicate women's ingenuity and determination to lead meaningful spiritual lives even in cases like that of Prous Bonete where the church declared her a heritic.
