In 1575 Maciej Wirzbięta, a printer from Cracow, published a translation of the work De nobilitate et praecellentia feminei sexus eiusdemque supra virilem eminentia libellus titled Treatise on dignity and respectability of female sex. The author of the original text was Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim. Agrippa together with Wirzbięta took part in a century-long debate on women’s dignity, proving the legitimacy of the thesis which puts women over men. Arguments used in the discussion de hominis dignitate were supported by a particular interpretation of the Book of Genesis, which presents women as a better kind of men.
