| Summary: | This paper studies the paratextos of the Dominican nun sor Hipólita de Jesús Rocabertí (1551-1624), in particular the censorships and approvals which aim to authorize the treatises of the nun. These texts give information about the publishing process patronized by fray Tomas de Rocaberti, sor Hipolita’s nephew, between 1679 and 1685. They present an image of the author as a woman who did not learn Latin and was helped by divine «superior lights». The representations of sanctity exposed in the paratexts help to understand why the Congregation of Rites condemned sor Hipolita’s books soon after their publication. |
