Abstract
This study is a descriptive index and a typology of the vitae Mariae written in different languages of Iberia before 1559, the date of the Index of Prohibited Books. We collect, correct and complete information currently available on the fi rst Iberian productions of this genre. We also propose a classifi cation that allows us to appreciate the genesis and development of a reading whose success came together with the success of hagiographic literature and vitae Christi.
