dc.description.abstract	The existing studies of mental affliction in sixteenth-century Spain tend to focus either on mad people who were confined to hospitals or to inquisitorial prisons, or on theoretical discussions on melancholy. This article discusses the evidence related to the accusatory claims allegedly made by the seemingly deluded Discalced Carmelite nun Beatriz de la Madre de Dios in 1578 with a view to shedding some light on two key concepts often related to madness: “deviancy” and “culpability”.	en_US
