Anorexia mirabilis, also known as holy anorexia or inedia prodigiosa or colloquially as fasting girls, is an eating disorder, similar to that of anorexia nervosa, that was common in, but not restricted to, the Middle Ages in Europe, largely affecting Catholic nuns and religious women. Self-starvation was common among religious women, as a way to imitate the suffering of Jesus in his torments during the Passion, as women were largely restricted to causing themselves voluntary pain by fasting, whereas holy men experienced suffering through physical punishment, voluntary poverty, and celibacy.

  • Anorexia mirabilis literalmente significa "ausência milagrosa de apetite". Refere-se quase exclusivamente a mulheres da Idade Média que se reduziam à inanição, às vezes até o limite da morte, em nome de Deus. O fenômeno também é conhecido pelo termo inédia prodigiosa. (pt)
  • Anorexia mirabilis (griech./lat.: etwa „wundersame Appetitlosigkeit“) oder Inedia prodigiosa ist die Bezeichnung für ein Fasten aus spirituellen Gründen. Der Begriff wurde von mittelalterlichen Ärzten verwendet, die es als wunderlich ansahen, wenn Frauen langes Fasten überlebten. (de)
  • Anorexia mirabilis dosłownie oznacza “cudowny brak apetytu”, to zaburzenie odżywiania znane również jako święta anoreksja, które było powszechne w czasach średniowiecza w Europie, choć nie tylko. W dużej mierze dotykało głównie zakonnic. Sama praktyka samogłodzenia była powszechna wśród religijnych, głównie młodych kobiet, jako sposób naśladowania cierpienia Jezusa Chrystusa w jego męce podczas Pasji. (pl)
  • Anorexia mirabilis, så kallad mirakulös , är ett fenomen som på 1500-talet gjordes till en diagnos. Det som kännetecknar detta sjukdomstillstånd är att självsvälten har en religiös innebörd. Fenomenet självsvält fanns dock redan innan diagnosens namn uppkom, utan redan på 400-talet hade en flicka boende i Karthago svält sig själv. Under de efterföljande århundradena finns flera fall av självsvält dokumenterade. (sv)
