Long dismissed and disdained by modern scholarship for belonging to the now unfashionable genre of gnomic and moral writing, Christine de Pizan’s Enseignemens moraux (1401-1402) possess a rich manuscript tradition, entirely contained in anthologies. Following the principles of material philology, the present thesis will focus on the textual, paratextual, and material study of the anthologies containing the Enseignemens. The analysis of a select corpus of manuscript and printed compilations will reveal the evolution of the reception of the Enseignemens, and by extension, will illuminate the authorial position of Christine de Pizan from the turn of the 15th century to the early modern period. The thesis will also explore the potentially “innovative” and “feminist” nature of the Enseignemens, arguing that the author’s place in the literary tradition of didactic writings and the work’s material history prove their short-lived success in being both. The digital archival work upon which this thesis stands will furthermore allow me to present two previously unidentified fragments of Christine de Pizan’s Enseignemens moraux, the discovery of which participates in the rich afterlife of this text and its author.
