Description
Summary:Food and music were both considered dangerous stimulants for women. During the modern age they could express themselves as ‘artists’ only inside nunneries: Isabella Leonarda – an Ursuline nun from Novara – was the most prolific female composer of the seventeenth century. Moreover, the first book of recipes ever written by a woman comes from an Italian nunnery: Maria Vittoria della Verde, a Dominican nun from Perugia, wrote down 170 recipes from 1583 to 1607. While bishops considered elaborate music and food dangerous for the spiritual well-being of nuns, it is evident that both were used to maintain a lively relationship with the external world. Fasting was the opposite system of affirming themselves.
Comida e música são ambos perigosos estimulantes para mulheres. Durante a Idade Moderna elas podiam expressar-se como “artisitas” apenas dentro de conventos: Isabella Leonarda - uma freira Ursulina de Novara - foi a mais prolífica compositora do século XVII. Além disso, o primeiro livro de receitas já escrito por uma mulher vem de um convento italiano: Maria Vittoria della Verde, uma dominicana da Perugia, escreveu 170 receitas de 1583 a 1607. Enquanto bispos consideravam música e comida perigosas ao bem-estar espiritual de freiras, é evidente que ambos foram usados para manter uma avivada relação com o mundo externo. Jejum foi o sistema oposto para se afirmarem.
