"This well-prepared edition is a valuable contribution to the study of women's literature and religious literature in medieval Spain.' (Modern Language Review, 94.3, 1999) "... A text of considerable interest and significance...It is interesting to observe how, perceptibly, as modern scholarly editions make available the writings of such women, our knowledge of the contours of the learning, literary culture and writing of late-medieval women-particularly of the mystics and visionaries-grows, alters, and comes into focus." (Mystics Quarterly, Volume 24 No. 4, December 1998)
