| Abstract (English): |
Laywomen played an active role in the production of medieval art, including painting and manuscript illumination. They were part of the urban craft makers' family workshops, within which they were able to train and work. Most of them had to work under the shadow of a male member of their family, mainly their father or husband, and only a few went on to run workshops when they were widowed. This publication compiles and analyses accounts of these women during the last centuries of the Middle Ages along four regions: Kingdom of France, Flanders, and the Crowns of Castile and Aragon. Through the study of specific cases, it will be examined the documentary typology in which these names can be found and the main problems that the study of this issue presents: the dispersion, brevity and ambiguity of these documentary reports, and the difficulty in attributing works.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las mujeres laicas tuvieron un papel muy activo en la producción del arte medieval, incluyendo la pintura en todas sus variantes. Formaban parte de los talleres familiares del artesanado urbano, dentro de los cuales podían formarse y trabajar. La mayoría de ellas se vieron obligadas a trabajar a la sombra de un varón de su familia, padre o marido, principalmente, y solo unas pocas llegaron a dirigir talleres al enviudar. Esta publicación recopila y analiza las noticias de estas mujeres en los últimos siglos del medievo a lo largo de cuatro regiones: Reino de Francia, Flandes y las coronas de Castilla y de Aragón. A través del estudio de casos concretos se examinan las diferentes tipologías documentales en las que aparecen estos nombres y cuáles son las principales problemáticas que presenta el estudio de esta cuestión: la dispersión, brevedad y ambigüedad de estas noticias o la dificultad para atribuirles obras.
