Author
Fray Luis de León is documented in Fuller’s manuscripts. One work is named, all in Extracts Only, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “excerpted”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
Passages where the evidence goes beyond allusion to indicate that Fuller had Fray Luis de León’s work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.
“Noche serena. Por Fr Luis Ponce de Leon. Cuando contemplo el cielo / De innumerables luces adornado... In a soft moonlight evening By Luis Ponce de Leon.”
