This paper pretends to make a brief incursion into the teachings of Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582) about the imagination throughout her four main writings: The Life, The Way of Perfection, The Interior Castle and The Book of the Foundations. Firstly, it offers a terminological clarification. Secondly, it presents the Teresian semantics of the terms.
