1620年代中期，近24人在路易莎·德·卡瓦哈尔·门多萨的神圣性调查中作证。1613/14年1月2日，她在英国首都伦敦去世，她在那里度过了生命的最后九年。她有充分的理由被认为是现代最早的女传教士之一，如果不是第一位的话。那个最了解她的女人对她圣洁的评价既诚实又无益。insamas de la Asunción作证说，路易莎不被视为“一个有启示的女人，而是一个有伟大美德和洞察力的女人”。她还记得她的情妇没有说过“她是否有任何启示、狂喜或狂喜”，并补充说事实上她“非常反对这些事情”。相反，她专注于提供路易莎“坚实美德”的证据。英萨梅斯认识她13年了，在她的情妇离开西班牙前往最终目的地新教英格兰后，英萨梅斯突然被勒令进入修道院。在英萨梅斯看来，路易莎无疑是个圣人，但她的同伴并不认为她的神秘天赋就是证据。并不是只有她一个人在淡化她情妇精神生活的这一方面。另一位同伴伊莎贝尔·德·拉·克鲁兹回忆说，调查的手稿记录在马德里Encarnación修道院的一系列盒子里。其中包括路易莎的大部分来信。虽然保存得很严谨，但它们并没有正式编目，只能通过非常简单的描述来识别几十份文件。“Proceso”指的是700对开本和更多的正式证词；我在这里还引用了因萨梅斯提交的草案，以及耶稣会牧师布莱克凡的一封信。
In the mid-1620s, almost two dozen people gave testimony at the abortive investigation into the sanctity of Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza. She had died a dozen years earlier, on 2 January 1613/14, in the English capital city of London, where she had lived for the last nine years of her life. With good reason she can be regarded as one of the first, if not the first, female missionary of modern times. 1 What the woman who knew her best had to say about her saintliness was as honest as it was unhelpful. Inés de la Asunción testified that Luisa was not regarded “as a woman of revelations but rather of great virtue and insight”. 2 She also remembered her mistress had said nothing about “whether she had or not any revelations, raptures or ecstasies”, adding that in fact she was “very much against these things”. She concentrated instead on giving evidence about Luisa’s “solid virtues”. 3 Inés had known her for 13 years, having shared in her life of poverty and good works before being abruptly ordered into a convent when her mistress abandoned Spain for her ultimate destination, Protestant England. Luisa was undoubtedly a saint as far as Inés was concerned, but her companion would not claim that the proof of this lay in her mystical gifts. Nor was she alone in downplaying this aspect of her mistress’s spiritual life. Isabel de la Cruz, another companion, recalled1 The manuscript records of the inquiry are to be found in a series of boxes in the Convento de la Encarnación in Madrid. These include the majority of letters to and from Luisa. Though scrupulously preserved, they are not formally catalogued, and it is only possible to identify the dozens of documents by a very simple description.“Proceso” refers to the legajo of 700 folios and more of formal depositions; I also make use here of Inés’s Draft Submission, as well as a letter from a Jesuit priest, Blackfan.
