| Abstract | In recent decades, scholars have renewed their interest in devotional literature and mysticism from the Late Middle Ages. These studies, however, have focused primarily on the Flemish, German, Italian and English areas. Very little has been undertaken concerning the Iberian territories. Nevertheless, medieval spiritual texts flowed over the Pyrenees from both sides. Whether these sources were created by, for, or about men or women, the point is to highlight the evidence of the presence in Iberia of a late Medieval, transeuropean mystical tradition before Teresa de Jesús and Juan de la Cruz. |
