1602 RARE Teresa of Avila 1^ed Life & Philosophy Catholic Saint Mysticism Italian

“I know by frequent experience that there is nothing which puts the devils to flight like holy water.”

– St. Teresa of Avila

Saint Teresa of Avila was a 16^th-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun who played an essential role in the Counter Reformation by reforming the Carmelite order. Her written works are integral in the development of Christian mysticism and personal meditation practices in the 16^th-century. Beginning in 1562, Teresa began writing her own autobiography, which has been consistently published through into the 21^st-century.

This impressive 1602 first edition was published in Venice by Giorgio Greco.
