Nuns Navigating the Spanish Empire tells the remarkable story of a group of nuns who traveled halfway around the globe in the seventeenth century to establish the first female Franciscan convent in the Far East. In 1620 Sor JerÃ3nima de la AsunciÃ3n (1556â "1630) and her cofounders left their cloistered convent in Toledo, Spain, journeying to Mexico to board a Manila galleon on their way to the Philippines. Sor JerÃ3nima is familiar to art historians for her portrait by Velàzquez that hangs in the Prado Museum in Madrid. What most people do not know is that one of her travel companions, Sor Ana de Cristo (1565â "1636), wrote a long biographical account of Sor JerÃ3nima and their fifteen-month odyssey. Drawing from Sor Anaâ (TM)s manuscript, other archival sources, and rare books, Owensâ (TM)s study offers a fascinating view of travel, evangelization, and empire.
