MANUSCRITO.- TERESA DE ÁVILA, Santa.- 1 documento.- Século XVI.- 1 f.; 290x200 mm. Manuscript, probably autograph, of St. Teresa of Ávila, also known as St. Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582), a Spanish Carmelite mystic nun and Catholic saint canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. Saint Teresa, reformer of the Carmelite Order and co-founder of the Discalced Carmelite Order, together with Saint John of the Cross, left us important contemplative texts and a set of more than 350 letters reprinted several times in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Fragment of unidentified text, with 19 lines, in Castilian language. The sheet, glued to a wooden support and framed, has some support faults (and folding creases) which impair the reading of several words. Some polychrome plant and zoomorphic decorative motifs were added to the top and bottom margins (bottom margin added).
