The extensive writings of the Spanish Dominican nun Isabella de Rocaberti y Solier (religious name Hippolyta de Jesús; c. 1550–1624),
an illegitimate daughter of the Viscount Rocaberti,
were published posthumously between 1679 and 1685 by her nephew Juan Tomás de Rocaberti, Archbishop of Valencia, in an attempt to advance her beatification process, which ultimately failed.

The writings were included in Index of Prohibited Books by Catholic Church.
