DONNA MITTENTE AND DONNA DESTINATARIA - TWO EXAMPLES OF THE EPISTLES OF CATHARINE OF SIENA TO THE "RESPECTABLE LADIES". (English)

It is well known that the concept of life during the late Middle Ages was especially linked to monasteries, which were important centers of culture. In the literary-historical context, one of the most significant medieval genres is the epistle, an important means of communication in church circles. Among the authors of medieval epistles, Catherine of Siena, a nun of the Dominican order, holds a prominent place. She left behind an opus of epistles known as L'Epistolario. Catherine's epistles, addressed to important personalities from both worldly and spiritual spheres, are especially noteworthy for those addressed to women. These letters reveal the complexity of the medieval woman's role in both spiritual and worldly life, making them a significant genre within the medieval literary tradition. In this paper, we will explore how Catherine of Siena's epistles portray women as double protagonists, both as the writer and the recipient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Poznato je da se koncept života tokom poznog srednjeg veka posebno vezuje za manastire, kao važne centre kulture. Govoreći o književnoistorijskom kontekstu, jedan od značajnijih medijevističkih žanrova jeste, svakako, epistola koja je bila važno sredstvo komunikacije u crkvenim krugovima. Kada je reč o autorima srednjovekovnih epistola, značajno mesto pripada Katarini Sijenskoj, monahinji dominikanskog reda koja je za sobom ostavila opus epistola poznatiji pod nazivom L'Epistolario. Među njenim epistolama upućenim važnim ličnostima iz svetovnog i duhovnog života posebno su značajne epistole upućene ženama. One nam ukazuju na kompleksnost uloge srednjovekovne žene u sferi duhovnog i svetovnog života, zbog čega predstavljaju značajan žanr u okviru medijevističke književne tradicije. U ovom radu pokazaćemo kako je u epistolama Katarine Sijenske žena prikazana kao dvostruki protagonista, kao ona koja piše i ona kojoj je pismo upućeno. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
