Summary: "Le trésor de la cité des dames de degré en degré et de tous estatz" by Christine is a historical treatise likely written in the late 14th century. The book serves as a guide for women, particularly those of high status, outlining virtues and moral lessons they should embody to attain respect and lead virtuous lives. Christine, through the voices of three allegorical figures—Raison (Reason), Droiture (Rectitude), and Justice—addresses queens, princesses, and noblewomen, advocating for the cultivation of spiritual and ethical attributes. The opening of the text establishes the purpose of the work as a noble exhortation to women of various ranks to aspire toward virtue and morality. It begins with a prologue that invites the reader into a metaphorical city of virtues, where revered figures embody ideals of governance and wisdom. Christine expresses her intent to enlighten these women on the importance of fearing and loving God, resisting temptations associated with power and wealth, and adopting virtuous conduct. Through this foundational text, readers are introduced to the principles that will be detailed in subsequent chapters, providing a roadmap for noblewomen to ensure their actions reflect humility, charity, and responsibility toward their subjects and themselves.
