Abstract

The article focuses on the dispute that took place within the Spanish Carmelites after the death of Saint Teresa of Ávila. By analyzing
the source texts and the relevant literature, the author reconstruct the main reasons for the conflict and present two opposing positions regarding Teresa’s legacy that emerged among Carmelites after her death. The first of them, represented by Ana de Jesús, a student of Teresa of Ávila, was intended to continue Teresian humanism and to preserve the famous Alcalá constitutions, granting the nuns the right to the so-called Holy Freedom.
