The author, initially a staunch defender of the authenticity of the nun's wounds, offers us an account that goes beyond simple biography to become a testimony of faith, doubt, and subsequent repentance. The reader will find a historical document of great value that explores the boundaries between genuine spirituality and deception, as well as the consequences of credulity in the religious sphere of the 16th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work narrates the life of Sister María de la Visitación, a Portuguese Dominican nun who gained fame during the 1580s for displaying stigmata that imitated the wounds of Christ. Fray Luis de Granada, one of the most influential figures of Golden Age spiritual literature, became one of her main supporters, writing this text to legitimize and disseminate her testimony. However, when ecclesiastical authorities investigated the case and discovered the fraud, Fray Luis publicly recanted. As a consequence of this episode, the author also wrote his \u003cem\u003eSermon against scandals in public falls\u003c\/em\u003e, a text that reflects on shame and redemption after a public error. The story of Sister María is, therefore, an account that shifts from passionate defense to humble rectification, offering a lesson on prudence and truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe authenticity of stigmata and mystical phenomena in the Catholic Church.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe conflict between faith, credulity, and the rational verification of miracles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the intellectual and their responsibility regarding truth and public error.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRepentance and rectification as acts of humility and moral teaching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConvent life and female spirituality in the Iberian Peninsula of the 16th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of the Church, Golden Age spiritual literature, and cases of religious heterodoxy.
