| Sumario: | The article’s main scope is to discuss the relationships between gender, fashion and holiness in the Middle Ages. The objective is to analyze textual and visual representa- tions of Elisabeth of Hungary, a woman who was canonized and venerated in the final cen- turies of the Middle Ages, the same time as the documentation under study was produced. To do this, we examined the textual references to clothing and the clothing elements, colors and adornments present in the images. Based on the ideas of Scott (1999) on gender, reflec- tions of Lipovetsky (2009), Braudel (2005) and Boucher (2010) on fashion for the medieval period and of Silva (2022) on sanctity, we developed the proposed analysis. We argue that gender interferes in the processes of social recognition of holiness which, in turn, does not ignore the fashion of the period, even though these issues are not the central themes of ha- giographic materials. |
