Zusatztext "Bulkeley's book presents an intriguing micro-history that illuminates life in late sixteenth-century Madrid and suggests the potential value of incorporating cognitive and digital approaches to scholarship on early modern events and texts.

His multifaceted analyses may indicate new paths for studying other visionaries and mystics of Golden-Age Spain."
