So far, the gender perspective has not been a fruitful prospect regarding the pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the Middle Ages. The subject of female pilgrimage is challenging because of the lack of sources produced by women. With the help of a corpus of over 100 pilgrimage accounts dating from 1320 to 1512, written by Christian pilgrims from all over Europe, this essay will shed some light on data on late medieval female pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It supplies also reflections on the type of information that sources provide (or do not provide), and hypothesis to counteract the reticence of sources.
Il contributo vuole offrire, tramite l’analisi di fonti odeporiche (un corpus di oltre 100 testi, dal 1320 al 1512, scritti da pellegrini italiani, francesi, tedeschi, fiamminghi, inglesi, spagnoli, svizzeri), sia informazioni sull’esperienza del pellegrinaggio femminile, sia riflessioni sulla tipologia di informazioni che le fonti forniscono (o non forniscono), e ipotesi di lavoro per ovviare alla reticenza delle fonti.
