    Selected editions and translations

  1. This allegorical devotional text was originally written in Catalan as Spill de la vida religiosa (Barcelona, 1515), and was soon translated into Castilian, 'Espejo de Religiosos' (Sevilla, 1533). There are 12 known Castillian editions. It became very popular in a wide variety of European languages with additional translations and adaptations in Danish, Dutch, English, German, Irish, Italian, Latin, Polish and Portuguese. The Catalan scholar August Bover i Font has also found references to a French edition.
