Vida de Santa Marķa Egipciaqua
Barcelona: L'Avenē, 1907
52 pp.
This poem, by an unknown writer, is usually dated back to the first half of the XIII century. Following the hagiographic structure, the poem includes a Sermon that corresponds to the rhetorical narrative centered in the "example". It illustrates the divine benevolence through Marķa Egipciaca's life. The first half of the story describes Maria's strong sexual drive that makes her a prostitute. In the second half, Maria undergoes conversion, following a life of penance.
