  • Notes: "Sole edition of the rule and constitution of the nunnery of the Hieronymites in Puebla, as approved and promulgated by Bishop Manuel Fernández de Santa Cruz. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a Hieronymite nun in Mexico City and in the wake of her having incurred the wrath of the archbishop, all nuns in New Spain were put on notice that the archepiscopal authorities would no longer tolerate 'secularized' nuns. This text, published within a decade of Sor Juana's death, makes it clear that nuns were expected to 'be nuns' and that only, not writers or thinkers also"--OCLC (listing 4 copies). Medina, Puebla 230. None traced at auction.
