【 摘 要 】

This article shows how the Testimony and the Summary of the Faith Process followed by two nuns from the convent of Santa Clara de Trujillo in the Kingdoms of Peru resembles a hagiographic narration that proposes the nun Luisa Benites as an aspirant to the altars in the already proven land of sanctity that was the Viceroyalty of Peru. In this work, only references to Juana Luisa Benites, the first nun to give indications of possible demonic possession, will be addressed in the aforementioned convent.
