Abstract
The aim of the present article is to illustrate the common background in the meditation on the passion of Saint John of Avila and other Spanish authors in the 16th Century, stablishing the differences between them and trying to identify a common literary genre of meditation. First of all, we talk about the precedents of the mental prayer applied to the passion in the devotion of the Middle Ages and in the devotio moderna. Then, we present in detail both the perspective and the proposal of San Juan de Ávila. Finally, we analyze the divergences and convergences with the closest authors to him in the 16th Century who developed and practiced this same method of meditation. We conclude with some indication about the literary genre.
