Open Access: “Santas y marcadas: Itinerarios de lectura modélicos en la obra de las místicas bajomedievales impresas por Cisneros” [= “Marked Holy Women: Exemplary Reading Itineraries in the Late Medieval Women Mystics’ Works Printed by Cisneros”] (original) (raw)

In this article I analyze the devotional post-incunabula commissioned by Cardinal Francisco Ximénez Cisneros through a case study: the Liber qui dicitur Angela de Fulginio (1505), which also includes Liber specialis (spiritualis) gratiae by Mechthild von Hackeborn and the Prima regula by Francis of Assisi. In the first place, I will study the specific versions of the works which were finally printed, through their comparison with their European manuscript tradition. In the second place, I will discuss the presence of a “reformist program” linked with Cisnero’s intentions through specific fragments emphasized by printed maniculae in the margins of the book.
