ANALOGUES

14th-century:

        Boccaccio's De Claribus Mulieribus (1360) presents a collection of short biographies of women. In telling Dido's
        story, Boccaccio defends her reknowned chastity, to "remove the infamy undeservedly cast on her
        widowhood"--Aeneas' arrival in Carthage is, in this version, merely coincidental to her suicide.

15th-century:

        Christine de Pizan's Livre de la Cité des Dames (Book of the City of Ladies), was written around 1407. 
        Pizan explains the significance of Dido's name and recounts her founding of Carthage as an example of prudence,
        in chapter 46, part one.  In part two, following the dictates of fashion, Pizan also offers Dido as an example of woman's fidelity
        in love; yet she argues that such constancy may be misdirected.
