Excerpt from Life of St. John of the Cross of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Born A. D. 1542, Died 1591 The following Life of St. John of the Cross has been compiled from that written by fra Joseph of Jesus and Mary, who entered the order of Carmel in 1595, three years after the death of the saint. Fra Joseph was appointed annalist of the order, and, no doubt, had access to all the papers necessary for his work. But his life of the saint was not regarded with favour by his brethren, and the publication of it took place without the sanction of his superiors, who afterwards deprived him of his charge of annalist. Also from the great chronicle of the order, by fra Francis de Santa Maria; the life written by fra Jerome of St. Joseph, commonly prefixed to the works of St. John of the Cross; from that written by the Padre Marco de San Francisco, in Italian; and from that written by the P. Dosithee de Saint Alexis, in French. Great use has also been made of the life lately written by Don Manuel Munoz Garnica, Canon of the Cathedral Church of Jaen, and published in that city in the year 1873.
