Juliana Morell

Juliana Morell (16 February 1594 – 26 June 1653)^[1] was a Catalan Dominican nun and intellectual child prodigy. Some sources assert that she received a doctorate in canon law in Avignon in 1608. In 1941, Sylvanus Morley traced this to an 1859 misreading by Joaquín Roca y Cornet [es] of 17th-century Latin documents.^[2] and cited others stating that, while her father wished for her to obtain a doctorate, she refused, regarding it as incompatible with her status as a nun.^[3]
