Juliana Morell

This was achieved in 1608, when she publicly maintained her law theses at the papal palace of the vice-legate before a distinguished audience, among whom was the Princesse de Condé.

[6] Juliana Morell "defended theses" in 1606 or 1607 in Lyon or maybe Avignon, although claims that she received a doctorate in canon law in 1608 have been discredited.

Disregarding wealth and an advantageous offer of marriage, she entered during the same year the convent of Saint Praxedes at Avignon.

For two years before her end she was in great bodily suffering and her death agony lasted five days; she died in 1653 at Avignon.

[citation needed] In a laudatory poem, Lope de Vega speaks of her "as the fourth of the Graces and the tenth Muse".
