The Heirs of St. Teresa of Avila: Defenders and Disseminators of the Founding Mother's Legacy (Carmelite Studies) - 3257

This volume of Carmelite Studies presents new insights into the lives and writings of individuals who knew Teresa of vila in life and who, after her death in 1582, worked to propagate and defend her legacy, including the illustrious nuns Ana de San Bartolom, Ana de Jess, Mara de San Jos, and Ana de San Agustn, and her close male confidant and collaborator, Jernimo Gracin de la Madre de Dios. A further focus of the essays is the reception of the Teresian heritage by individuals outside the order, as mediated by these early Discalced Carmelites and by Teresa's published writings.
