Summary/Abstract: This article explores various manifestations of the marvelous feminine in medieval Catalan literature, focusing on three Valencian works from the 14th and 15th centuries. Drawing on the analytical model proposed by Le Goff, it examines three female figures that exemplify the main strands of the medieval marvelous, offering an initial approach to the topic. The first case belongs to the Christian marvelous and is found in a sermon by Saint Vincent Ferrer; the second example, taken from the novel Tirant lo Blanc, presents a marvelous female figure outside the religious framework; finally, Jaume Roig's Espill offers a model of a magical woman associated with a misogynistic perspective.
