Additional Details

A manuscript devotional tract on the Stations of the Cross, written at the Franciscan seminary of San Fernando in Mexico. The full title is given as "Luz y metodo debotisimo para sabér andar la via sacra, lleno de tiernisimos y dolorosos afectos con unos brebes clamores, toques, y desengañas, que como flechas del cielo hieren y penetran el corazon mas endurecido . . . sacado de su librito Antidoto Espiritual." It is unclear if this volume was written in the hand of Dieguez, or abstracted from one of his books. In any event, we find no record of this text being published, nor an "Antidoto Espiritual" published by Diéguez or any other party. Palau does list two books by Diéguez, including his "Espejo de luz" published in Mexico in 1748.
