Abstract

The analysis is projected on the series of profession charts belonging to the cistercian abbey of Santa Ana at Malaga (Spain), those ones mainly related to the chronological period config-ured by the XVII and XVII th centuries; from the point of the possibilities offered by the document surrounding the female profession, one of the most dear moments of catholic liturgy. Latin legends complementing the ornamental part of some of these documents contain references to biblical text or breviary contents, revitalizing the pure feeling of love to God, where the own legend is responsible for connecting with the ceremonial aspect surrounding the meeting of wife and Christ. Finding, cate-gorizing and commenting on classical and ecclesiastical sources from which emanate these texts, impregnated by the clearest mystic sense, will be the task to address in the present study, referring to another type of documentary sources that can report on latin texts stabilization and use at the religious ceremony, giving way to the faith life of a female in the Modern Age.

Summary

Preliminares

La profesión religiosa femenina representa el ingreso voluntario en una orden religiosa así como el compromiso de cumplir sus votos[2]. El estudio que se presenta pretende proyectar un análisis sobre la serie de cartas de profesión pertenecientes a la Abadía cisterciense de Santa Ana en Málaga, y entre ellas las relativas fundamentalmente al periodo cronológico configurado por los siglos XVII y XVIII; en esta ocasión, no desde la óptica de la Diplomática eclesiástica, labor que se ha abordado en anteriores trabajos[4], sino desde las posibilidades que ofrece el documento escrito para la reconstrucción del ceremonial que rodeó la profesión religiosa femenina, uno de los momentos de la liturgia católica más apreciados y entrañables. Esta últimas constituyen un conjunto de 205 cartas de profesión cuya horquilla cronológica se corresponde con la amplitud del archivo y sobre las cuales se ha publicado un catálogo[7] y se han proyectado diversos estudios artísticos[8], de historia eclesiástica[9] y de corte lingüístico[10]
