DATABASE

NUN WRITERS

This database complements the study ‘Nun writers. Authority and authorship in women’s conventual writing in the Spanish Golden Ages’, published by Iberoamericana-Vervuert in 2019. Its aim is to provide open access to biographical and bibliographical information on selected Spanish women religious authors and their intellectual legacy.


The search can be carried out using the TAGS of the abbreviations of the religious orders or in the SEARCH BOX using the proper names, religious names, centuries, exact dates, and places of origin.


¨Confianza y fe viva/ Mantenga el alma,/ Que quien cree y espera/ Todo lo alcanza¨
