“…Many of the terms historians use to discuss these women are sloppy and "imprecise." 16 "Devout laywomen" has been helpfully been coined as an umbrella term encompassing the religious lives of beguines, beatas, penitents and spiritual virgins and widows across post-Tridentine Europe. 17 The problem remains, however, that many of our historical actors would not have identified with these categories.…”

In 1563, the Catholic Church responded to the Protestant challenge to the religious life as the most holy feminine state with the maxim aut maritus aut murus (wife or wall). The navigation of that dictum by early modern women across Catholic Europe has arguably been one of the dominant themes in the scholarship over the last thirty years. Certainly, there had always been the opportunity for women to lead a religious life outside of marriage and the cloister as beatas, tertiaries and beguines. Yet it was after the Council of Trent (1545–1563) that women had to renegotiate a space in the world in which they could lead spiritually-fulfilling devotional lives. If this was one unintended legacy of 1517, then the quincentenary of the Reformation seems a timely moment to reflect on new directions in the now burgeoning historiography on lay women in Counter-Reformation Europe.

“…Si el caso de las beatas y religiosas procesadas por la Inquisición por alumbradismo es objeto de un renovado interés estos últimos años (Weber 2016), en cambio el estudio de las religiosas procesadas, y de forma más general, de las mujeres procesadas por luteranismo a finales de la década de 1550 ha sido aún poco profundizado, tanto en Valladolid como en Sevilla. 1 La desaparición de gran parte de los procesos, la dispersión de fuentes relativas a estas así como el relativo desinterés durante largo tiempo por aquellas creyentes y su historia explican en parte el silencio a su respecto y nos centraremos aquí sobre el caso sevillano en las causas de luteranismo.…”
