The Llibre de les dones was one of the most successful works of Francesc Eiximenis. Although this book had not the same diffusion that other works such as the Llibre dels àngels or the Vida de Jesucrit, it made a big fortune, as proves the fact that not only six manuscripts and one incunabulum have been preserved, but also some fragmentary copies, a Spanish translation transmitted through eight testimonies and an adapted version called Carro de las donas. In spite of the book's success, since not long ago it didn't exist any study of the Catalan textual tradition. In this paper are shown the results of the ecdotic analysis on the first hundred chapters of the book and it is proposed a possible stemma codicum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
