Abstract
Childhood research should pay special attention to little girls and maidens. They have often been overlooked in historical studies due to their invisibility. To properly address this topic, it’s crucial to thoroughly analyze every text, tradition, or iconographic document and place them within their specific historical context. The authors have launched a research project to meet this challenge. The volume presented in the article is the result of this work. It investigates the theme from a historical-religious perspective and a multidisciplinary approach, covering a period from the third millennium BC to the medieval age. This has opened up new and interesting opportunities for further study.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
