何についての本か

アビラのテレサの『自叙伝』。幼年期、熱意を欠いた修道院の日々、遅れてきた回心、祈り、そして幻視。

背景と歴史

なぜ書かれたのかは知っておくとよい。彼女の意志によるのではなく、聴罪司祭たちの命による。彼らは、身に起きていることを検討できるよう書き記せと求めたのだ。それが調子を説明する。彼女は絶えず弁明し、自らを低くし、訂正を受け入れる。そして写本が異端審問所の手に渡り、何年も留め置かれたことも、それで説明がつく。この散文は十六世紀カスティーリャ語の最良の部類に属するが、それはまさに文学であろうとしていないからだ。彼女は話すように書く。自分を裁く者たちに分かってもらうために。

冒頭
As I have been commanded and left at liberty to describe at length my way of prayer, and the workings of the grace of our Lord within me, I could wish that I had been allowed at the same time to speak distinctly and in detail of my grievous sins and wicked life. But it has not been so willed; on the contrary, I am laid herein under great restraint; and therefore, for the love of our Lord, I beg of every one who shall read this story of my life [1] to keep in mind how wicked it has been; and how, among the Saints who were converted to God, I have never found one in whom I can have any comfort. For I see that they, after our Lord had called them, never fell into sin again; I not only became worse, but, as it seems to me, deliberately withstood the graces of His Majesty, because I saw that I was thereby bound to serve Him more earnestly, knowing, at the same time, that of myself I could not pay the least portion of my debt. May He be blessed for ever Who waited for me so long! I implore Him with my whole heart to send me His grace, so that in all clearness and truth I may give this account of myself which my confessors command me to give; and even our Lord Himself, I know it, has also willed it should be given for some time past, but I had not the courage to attempt it. And I pray it may be to His praise and glory, and a help to my confessors; who, knowing me better, may succour my weakness, so that I may render to our Lord some portion of the service I owe Him. May all creatures praise Him for ever! Amen. 1. The Saint, in a letter written November 19, 1581, to Don Pedro de Castro, then canon of Avila, speaking of this book, calls it the book "Of the compassions of God"--Y ansi intitule ese libro De las Misericordias de Dios.…
