Las tres primas del entorno celestinesco y una nota sobre el tema del linaje

Abstract

This study aims to scrutinize the Celestina text to collect all relevant information about the relationship of three young women: Elicia, Areusa, and Lucrecia. Although it is well documented that the term «prima» (cousin) was common among prostitutes as a term of sisterly affection, it appears that in Celestina the three women are truly cousins, related by bloodlines rather than solely by professional association.
