Llibre de les dones

In its initial chapters, this books aims to be a kind of manual for the instruction of women, similar to the ones that were used during this time.

It seems to have influence of other books of this sort, such as the one of the Dominican Vincent de Beauvais' De eruditione filiorum nobilium (On the Erudition of the Sons of the Nobles) (circa 1250), that influenced a lot the whole Middle Ages as to the basic guidelines for feminine education.

In this part Eiximenis gathers many of the materials (even though they are explained in a basic and schematic way), that were going to be used in the unwritten volumes of Lo Crestià.

Moreover, Eiximenis deals again in an abridged way with matters that appear in the Terç (third volume of Lo Crestià), such as the seven deadly sins and the five senses.
