Reviews

'this is an invaluable collection... The editing is exemplary - a light touch but with a full introduction to each letter. It is impossible in a review of limited space, to do real justice to these volumes. But they are certain to be a major resource for historians of the early seventeenth century.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'This collection of letters is a worthy companion and an inestimable guide for appreciating one of the most remarkable women to cross early modern Spain's vast stage.' Sixteenth Century Journal
