Abstract

The author focuses on a defendant of an inquisition trial (1641-1644) and its sources, namely, a healing hermit and the Saint Cyprian prayer in Catalan published in 1557 and used by him as a magical charm. The author, beyound the philological and folkloristic study of the text, presents the vulgarisation of reading skills and the realization of reading practice in a given social context. She uses the most important and relevant theological literature of the period and the attestations of the trial as keys to reading. She pays special attention to the context of prayer and its real social use. Her objective is to analyse the textual elements and gestures of the healing rite, therefore she investigates the probable readins of the healing specialist, which makes it possible to reach a deeper understanding of the hermit's role as a cultural mediator.
