Spiritual Diary
Diario espiritual
A near-daily record of the movements, tears, visions and 'loquela' that accompanied Ignatius as he discerned whether the Society's churches should have fixed revenues. Written with abbreviations, signs and crossings-out, it shows both the method of election of the Exercises applied by their author and an intense Trinitarian and Eucharistic mysticism tied to the celebration of Mass. It is the most intimate document of his to survive.

Authorship note
Ignatius's autograph: two small notebooks covering 2 February 1544 to 27 February 1545. It was not meant for publication and survived by chance among his papers. The first notebook was partly published in the nineteenth century and the whole in the Monumenta Historica S.I. (Constitutiones, vol. I, 1934).
