10. Jean-Martin Charcot, “The Faith-Cure,” New Review, 7 (January 1893): 73–108: “It is striking to find that several of these thaumaturges suffered from the very malady whose manifestations they would henceforth cure: St. Francis of Assisi and St. Teresa, whose shrines are among those where miracles most frequently occur, were undeniable hysterics themselves” (unfindable: LSF trans.).

12. Josef Breuer (Josef Breuer and Sigmund Freud, Studies on Hysteria, trans. and ed. James Strachey [New York: Basic Books, 2000], 232): “Among hysterics may be found people of the clearest intellect, strongest will, greatest character and highest critical power. No amount of genuine, solid mental endowment is excluded by hysteria, although actual achievements are often made impossible by the illness. After all, the patron saint of hysterics, St. Theresa, was a woman of genius with great practical capacity.” On the subject of female sexuality, sainthood, and hysteria, see also Cristina Mazzoni, Saint Hysteria: Neurosis, Mysticism and Gender in European Culture (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1996).
