English title. Collective writing and memory: a miscellaneous volume in the Carmel of Santa Ana and San José in Madrid (16th-17th centuries). This book, a true bibliographical gem preserved in an unusual way in the archive of the convent of Santa Ana and San José (practically completely destroyed in the Civil War), contains spiritual texts of great interest, some by renowned authors from the beginnings of Carmel, like María de San José; glosses to Psalms of the Bible; versions of classics of our literature such as Subida del Monte Carmelo or Cántico spiritual of San Juan de la Cruz, and a version of Oda a la vida retirada de Fray Luis de León; poems by Teresa de Jesús with significant variants; anonymous poems of high literary quality. Finally, the theatrical (or paratheatrical) genre could not be missing: the manuscript contains a humorous dialogue between several characters, a colloquium between the soul and God, a theatrical party for a taking of the habit and even a loa for a comedy. The book, whose content is practically unpublished, is an original example of collective female writing, as it has been composed progressively, by different authors or copyists. In this work we try to elucidate the authorship and understand this compilation in the context of persecution and resistance of the first Carmelites after the death of Teresa of Jesús ​
