The Camelitana Collection
The Carmelitana Collection, now holding over 14,500 titles, is a research library specializing in literature pertaining to Carmelite studies with materials dating as far as the late 15th century. Inside this spacious and comfortable library, researchers from all fields of religious study will find substantive matter relevant to the literary and spiritual tradition of the Carmelite Order. Resources in Spanish Renaissance literature, medieval mendicants, Gregorian chant, 19th century American piety, Latin poetry, Baroque preaching, and 20th century phenomenology are all easily accessible and ready for study. The Collection also includes popular items relating to Carmelite spirituality.
The presence of many women authors in the Carmelite tradition makes the library particularly appealing to those pursuing a gender-critical approach to spirituality, including authors such as Teresa of Avila, Mary Magdalene De Pazzi, Cecilia del Nasciemento, Therese of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Edith Stein, and Jessica Powers.
