Long abstractThis chapter deals with the complex conception history and structure of the so-called <i>Libro del conorte </i>(<i>Book of Consolation</i>) that codifies sermons held by the visionary Juana de la Cruz, abbess of the tertiary <i>Nuestra Señora de la Cruz</i> monastery during a crucial period of its existence. By providing an analysis and contextualization of this manuscript, this contribution argues for a collective authorship of the sermons in their present form. The argumentation presented here is reflective of a work in progress intended to end in a new critical edition of the <i>Libro del conorte.</i>
