These aspects are more intense in the miracle narratives that portrait religious women, monks and abbess, where the sin is always haunting the imaginary or those women who fought against it incessantly. The aim of this work is to offer a female profile of six lays of miracle which refer to religious women in the poem e in correspondent illustration. The lays of miracles that compound the selected corpus were taken from the edition organized by Mettmann (1959-1972), while the analyzed miniatures belong to Códice Rico (Escorial, T. I.1).
