Cabré i Pairet, Montserrat, "From a master to a laywoman: a feminine manual of self-help", Dynamis, 20 [=El aprendizaje de la medicina en el mundo medieval] (2000), 371-393.

Resum
Identificació i anàlisi de la Tròtula en català escrita per Joan de Fulgines (fl. 1349 – 1375) per a la infanta Elionor d'Aragó (1358 – 1382).

This article analyzes master Joan's Tròtula, a late fourteenth-century Catalan text on women's health addressed to an infanta of Aragon which survives in one late fourteenth-century manuscript. It presents a hypothesis regarding its genre, its composition and use at the Catalan-Aragonese Court, and its later fortuna. It considers how Master Joan inscribed in the text a conception of women's medical needs, while also defining lay women's involvement in maintaining their health.
