The Vita Christi by Isabel de Villena and La vida de la sacratíssima verge Maria by Miquel Peres are two devotional works appeared in Valencia in the late Fifteenth Century, and both are characterized by its Marian subject. However, they have been never analyzed together in search of possible dependencies or divergences. This work exposes for the first time how, despite the thematic proximity, each author offers a different text in order to present the role of the Virgin in the evangelical facts.
