title = "Un beghinaggio a Lentini. Religiosit{\`a} laica femminile in Sicilia tra XIII e XIV secolo",
abstract = "The essay aims to investigate some types of women{\textquoteright}s spirituality in Sicily between the Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries. From an analysis conducted on published sources and archival documents, it turns out that women{\textquoteright}s spiritual instances included forms similar to seclution and beguinage. They were the result of a coincidence rather than of a conscious and structured movement. Some exuberant women, most of which were not Sicilian, founded or followed new devotional practices, moved by a desire for emancipation in the religious sphere.",
