OTHER CARMELITE SAINTS AND THEMES
Carmelite Studies
IX
The Heirs of St. Teresa of Ávila: Defenders and Disseminators of the Founding
Mother's Legacy
Edited by Christopher C. Wilson, PhD.
This issue of Carmelite Studies presents new insights into the lives and
writings of individuals who knew Teresa of Ávila in life and who, after her
death in 1582, worked to propagate and defend her legacy, including the
illustrious nuns Ana de San Bartolomé, Ana de Jesús, María de San José, and Ana
de San Agustín, and her close male confidant and collaborator, Jerónimo Gracián
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.

ICS Code: C9
140 pages, paper, $12.95.

More Information
The essays were originally presented at the 2004
symposium "The Heirs of St. Teresa" at Georgetown University.
That year marked the 400th anniversary of a pivotal moment in Discalced
Carmelite history: the arrival in France of a group of six nuns, some of
Teresa's most favored protégées, including Ana de Jesús and Ana de San Bartolomé,
who traveled from Spain to inaugurate the order's first French convent.
Motivated by devotion to their Founding Mother, amidst success and setbacks,
these and other of Teresa's heirs strove to carry out her will with a resolute
determination and to extend her reputation for sanctity throughout the
world.
ICS Publications is pleased to issue this volume in its series Carmelite Studies
conjointly with the Institutum Carmelitanum of the Carmelites of the Ancient
Observance in Rome.
