Resumo: The present work deals with the importance of the character of Rebecca. This importance is due to her role as a wife and as the mother of Isaac, Esau and Jacob, respectively. Thus, her biblical function consisted in supporting her husband, obeying him, and bearing him a son to continue his mission as a saviour of the Jewish people. For Christine de Pizan, as well as for La Tour Landry, her main virtue is humbleness, to the point that her husband sees her more as his maid than as his wife. The latter and the anonymous of Le Ménagier de Paris try to justify, with controversial arguments, Rebeccas’s preferences for one of her two sons. Along with these three texts, we will also analyse the role of this female character – as well as the development of her stereotype – from the beginning until becoming an example of virtue rooted in the Medieval society.

Esta importancia se debe a su papel como esposa y madre de Isaac, Esaú y Jacob respectivamente. Su función bíblica consistió, por lo tanto, en apoyar a su marido, obedeciéndole y dándole un hijo para continuar su misión como salvador del pueblo judío. Para Christine de Pizan, así como para La Tour Landry, la principal virtud de Rebeca es la humildad, hasta el punto de que su marido la considera más su criada que su esposa. Este último y el anónimo de Le Ménagier de Paris tratan de justificar, con argumentos controvertidos, las preferencias de Rebeca por uno de sus dos hijos.
