The Interior Castle
St. Teresa of Avila

A very theological course in devotion as ‘mansions’. It gives instruction on many topics all around spiritual converse with God, with instruction on discernment of inspirations/revelations. Very good for nuns, fairly good for contemplative religious, and also good for lay people.

Minor Works of St. Teresa of Avila: Conceptions of the Love of God; Exclamations, Maxims and Poems of St. Teresa of Jesus
St. Teresa of Avila

Also contains a short account of the Saint’s death and canonization, etc., by the translator

The Letters of Saint Teresa of Avila
Georges Bertrin

This might be missing a fourth volume. I’m not sure. An amazon.com result seems to suggest there is a fourth volume. But I haven’t found one on archive.org yet.
