This
book
treats
of
maxims
and
counsels
which
Teresa
of
Jesus
gives
to her
daughters
and
sisters
in
religion
,
belonging
to the
Convents
which, with the
favour
of Our
Lord
and of the
glorious
Virgin
,
Mother
of
God
, Our
Lady
, she has
founded
according to the First
Rule
of Our
Lady
of
Carmel
. In
particular
she
addresses
it to the
sisters
of the
Convent
of
Saint
Joseph
of
çvila
, which was the first
Convent
, and of which she was
Prioress
when she
wrote
it.

With few
exceptions
, the
footnotes
to the
Way
of
perfection
are the
translators
.
Square
brackets
are therefore not used to
distinguish
them from those of
P
.
Silverio
, as elsewhere.
Ordinary
brackets
, in the
footnote
translations
, are
placed
round
words
inserted
to
complete
the
sense
.

This
title
, in
St
.
Teresa
's
hand
,
appears
on the first
page
of the
Valladolid
autograph
(
V
.) which, as we have
said
in the
Introduction
, is the
basis
of the
text
here used. The
Escorial
autograph
(
E
.) has the
words
"
Treatise
of the
Way
of
Perfection
" in an
unknown
hand
,
followed
by the
Prologue
, in
St
.
Teresa
's. The
Toledo
copy
(
T
.)
begins
with the
Protestation
.

These
lines
, also in
St
.
Teresa
's
hand
,
follow
the
title
in the
Valladolid
autograph
.
P

B
‡-
ez
added
, in his own
writing
, the
words
: "I have
seen
this
book
and my
opinion
of it is
written
at the end and
signed
with my
name
."
