Sumario:The present article examines the attempt to write a historia sacra by the Discalced Carmelite Tomás Sánchez Dávila (1564-1627). Using Teresa de Ávila (1515-1582) as an empirical reference and recent proof of the divine action among humans, Dávila connects a past of biblical-millennial dimensions with his own days to respond the urgencies of his present. However, in that construction the author introduces a modifying genitive: the historia sacra carmelitarum discalceatorum arises. In this way, Tomás blurs Teresa and proposes the Order as the real protagonist of its past with an absolute absorbing sense.
