| Abstract | |
The sixteenth century Andalusia was a fertile ground for the proliferation of reformism of the mendicant orders and for female¿s careers of holiness. The clashes and ambiguities of Catholicism in relation to the phenomenon of the "living saints" as well as the creativity of this expression of religiosity are condensed in the trajectory of the cordovan nun Magdalena de la Cruz (1490-1560) the famous abbess of Santa Isabel de los Ángeles who was condemned for "feigned holiness" and diabolical covenant by the court of the Holy Office of the Inquisition in May 1546. The biography of this "false saint" allows us to understand the devices for the holiness election which have been put to work at the dawn of modernity. The performative and social action with which she realized her failed projection of institutional sanctity and the transformations of the peninsular Catholic spirituality forged in that context constitutes the core of this investigation (AU) | |
