The literary historical character of the Teresian texts cannot be studied without taking into account the intermediary role that the philological work of Fray Luis de León plays in its configuration, in its transmission and in its evaluation. The encounter in the book of the Augustinian with Teresa is essential and makes visible the power upon writing that is exerted by the Salamanca theologian, based on his prestige, which is recognised by Carmelite authorities. The Augustinian friar social and cultural status acts as a guarantee and it is essential for the institutionalization of the mother's writings.
