Abstract
Celestina’s house, as Dorothy Sherman Severin notes, is at the same time ‘a bawdy house, a factory for perfumes and cosmetics, and a symbol of the misrule of a woman empowered by her illegal professions of sorceress, witch and bawd’ (Severin 1995: 45). In these pages I will endeavour to set Celestina’s skills in the context of making perfume and uses of it in the early 16th century.
