Metge offers a new vision of women and their entity, which shifts the medieval as a result of contempt and, at the same time, is his prototypes of hatred. To this end, he portrays the most disgusting ad degrades version, which comes from the Corbaccio, followed by an exquisite gallery of women, inspired by classics. In fact, it is a moral reform, which pictured with the rejection of the misogyny and of the petrarquesque ethics towards love, which was the deformation of the agustinian and confirmed the traditional morality.

This project has as an objective the critical editing of two letters written anonymously in thematically related heptasyllabic verses, with little time difference. These two letters, Carta que ha enviada la vila de Perpinyà a Cathalunya, ahont va contant totas sas desdichas and Resposta que fa Cataluña a una carta que li ha enviada la vila de Perpiñà, ab la qual plora las desdichas pateix en recompensa de innumerables servicis, which are propagandistic poetic broadsheets dated 1641, were intended to transmit political ideas related to the Catalan Revolt (1640-1652/59). In this regard, the project attempts to contribute to the recovery of political literature from this period by editing texts that until now could only be found in two documents from the XVII century, contextualizing them in this warlike incident.
