{"product_id":"ship-of-virtuous-ladies","title":"Ship of Virtuous Ladies","description":"First published in 1503 in Lyons, Symphorien Champier’s \u003ci\u003eThe Ship of Virtuous Ladies\u003c\/i\u003e helped launch the French Renaissance version of the \u003ci\u003equerelle des femmes\u003c\/i\u003e, the debate over the nature and status of women. The three books included in this edition include arguments for gender equality, and a catalogue of virtuous women modeled on Boccaccio’s \u003ci\u003eFamous Women\u003c\/i\u003e and Jacobus de Voragine’s \u003ci\u003eGolden Legend\u003c\/i\u003e. Titled “The Book of True Love,” book 4 is especially important in gender history, importing and transforming the male-centered Neoplatonic philosophy of Marsilio Ficino for pro-woman ends.","brand":"Arizona Center for Medieval \u0026 Renaissance Studies,US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250541285720,"sku":"9780866985857","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780866985857_c0af834c-3254-4313-bb03-39a1435f8cd2.jpg?v=1776801618","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ship-of-virtuous-ladies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
