In the Bibliothèque nationale de France there is a series of volumes from the canonization process of Saint John of Avila. These volumes had already been made known by the great Avila scholars of the mid-twentieth century, but they were not examined in depth. In this article we explain the historical context of these volumes, describe their content, and reflect on their academic interest. Their main interest, in addition to some usefulness in the biographical aspect, lies in the testimonies they collect about the enormous extent of Master Avila's fame for holiness, particularly outstanding along the 16th-18th centuries.
