exchange certain property belonging to it (ibid., anno iv.,
vol. vii., f. 274; and a charge to the Bishop of Avila concerning
a recourse of the said convent (ibid., anno vii., vol. iv.,
f. 24).

iii, p. 419, note 2.

7. Chap. xxxvi. section 10. The date of this part of the Life
can be easily ascertained from the two following chapters.
In xxxvii. section 18, St. Teresa says that she is not yet fifty
years old, consequently the chapter must have been written before
the end of March, 1565; and in the next chapter, xxxviii. section
15, she speaks of the death of Father Pedro Ibanez, which appears
to have taken place on 2nd February. This, at least, is the date
under which his name appears in the Annee Dominicaine, and the
Very Rev. Prior Vincent McNabb tells me that there is every
reason to think that it is the date of his death.

affiliation to the Carmelite Order, they were given the
Constitutions of the friars without any alterations.
These Constitutions were revised in 1462, but neither there nor
in the Acts of the General Chapters, so far as these are
preserved, is there the slightest reference to convents of nuns.
The colophon of the printed edition (Venice, 1499) shows that
