The Letters of Saint Teresa (Stanbrook)

St. Teresa of Ávila

St. Teresa's letters in English, as translated, arranged and annotated by the Benedictines of Stanbrook (London: Thomas Baker, 1919-1924; Cardinal Gasquet's introduction). Stanbrook orders and numbers the letters differently from Silverio's Spanish Epistolario, so this is its own book. Each letter is titled with its number in the Spanish book where it could be matched by addressee and date, and 'number unidentified' where not; the editor's one-line summary of each letter is in italics. Letters by others that Stanbrook prints beside Teresa's (Luis Bertrand, Peter of Alcántara, John of Ávila) are left out, as are the editor's footnotes and the appendices.

Contents

Source: Internet Archive OCR of the four volumes, split on the capitalised addressee headings. Running heads, page numbers and footnotes are dropped, line-break hyphens joined. The OCR is rough in places (isolated misreadings remain, and a few short letters may be run into a neighbour or the editor's note text may stay at a page foot). Letters whose heading could not be matched to the Spanish book by addressee and date are 'number unidentified'.
