The Spanish Mystics

By Robert A. Vaughan

Book Overview

""The Spanish Mystics"" by Robert A. Vaughan is a comprehensive study of the mystical tradition in Spain, from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period. The book explores the lives and works of major figures such as Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and Ignatius of Loyola, as well as lesser-known figures and movements.
