Teresa of Avila and the Letters of St Jerome: Simple Encouragement or Substantial Influence?

Per: Robson, Jo, OCD
Tipo materiale: ArticoloArticoloLingua: Inglese Roma : Pontificia Facoltà Teologica. Pontificio Istituto di Spiritualità "Teresianum" 2019Descrizione: ca. 250 p. per numero 24 cmISSN: 0392-4556Soggetto(i): Girolamo <santo> | Teresa : di Gesù <santa>Risorse in linea: Attiva il link In: Teresianum 2019 70, 1, 9-46Breve descrizione: In the Book of her Life, Teresa of Avila reports that reading the letters of St Jerome so encouraged her that she resolved to enter the monastery of the Incarnation. Despite this acknowledgement, and the fact that Teresa continues to refer to Jerome throughout her subsequent writings, his potential influence on her thought has been largely ignored. This study will undertake a detailed exploration of Jerome’s ascetic doctrine as laid out in the letters available in Spanish translation at the start of the sixteenth century. The analysis reveals striking parallels with Teresa’s own teaching and suggests that Jerome may have been a critical source for some of the most distinctive aspects of the vision of religious life which Teresa set out for her reformed Carmels.
