It is in Centro Histórico in Ciudad de México Mexico This historical marker was erected in 1975. Today, November 12, 1975, 327 years after the birth of Juana Ramírez de Abaje - Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz, this commemorative plaque is placed, which is the first step towards the rescue of a jewel of historical, artistic and architectural value, which is part of the cultural heritage of Mexico, for having been in this 16th century convent where she entered, professed her faith and wrote the majority of her works, and is buried - Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz, the most illustrious poet, author and philosopher of Latin-American thought. 18th-century mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, red edges (restored, with newer gilt decoration added to the boards).English translation:, By Presidential Decree of September 22, 1975, it was declared that the reconstruction and restoration of this, the Ex-Convento de San Jerónimo, is beneficial to the public good. Woodcut ornament on title page, woodcut head and tailpieces, factotum initials in vol 3 (a few small closed tears, paper flaw affecting printed page number in vol 2, browning). This is an attractive copy of a set usually only encountered in individual volumes, the complete works of the most important Latin American poet of the Colonial Era. The third volume of the present edition is sometimes, as in Sabin, recorded in bibliographies as a separate publication because it is so rarely found with its first two volumes. Only the third volume of the first edition has appeared at auction in the last 50 years, and the various editions of her complete works are more often encountered piecemeal than together. Her bibliography is not well studied, and many editions so rarely found complete that they are not well understood. The extremely rare first edition of her work was published in 1689-1700 in Spain, cementing her reputation across the Atlantic as well. Her two most famous works today are the Primero sueño, a long Neoplatonist poem written in an original and learned style, and the Respuesta a Sor Filotea de la Cruz, her defense of women’s rights and education. In addition to her religious poetry, she wrote many secular works on commission from the court, including comedies and love poems.
Sor Juana’s poetry is written in Spanish, Latin, and Nahuatl, and her work across genres engages with both contemporary and ancient philosophical traditions. Plague struck her convent in April 1695, and Sor Juana was among the many victims. She was eventually forced to sell her extensive library of some 4,000 volumes as well as her musical and scientific instruments-one of the largest in New Spain. Skilled in both Latin and Nahuatl as well as theology and logic, her radical thinking on church hierarchy and women's roles caused the Catholic Church to publish a letter in 1690 demanding that she focus on prayer rather than philosophy. Eschewing marriage, she entered a Hieronymite convent in 1669. The illegitimate daughter of a Spanish captain, Juana grew up in San Miguel Nepantla at her maternal grandfather's hacienda among his considerable library. Sor Juana was a Mexican philosopher, poet, playwright, book collector, and nun who is one of the most important figures of the Spanish Golden Age-and certainly the most important from Latin America.
