description This article deals with the constraints on the circulation of information and speech in Tridentine female convents, in particular among the Discalced Carmelites, based on the way it is devoutly portrayed in the hagiographies of the nuns. Rather than highlighting the repression of speech, according to the cliché that convents are exclusively places of silence, it emphasises the discipline of speech, which is circumstantial, precise and all-encompassing, and which attempts to regulate even the spaces and times of recreation, the purpose of which is to legitimise certain words to the detriment of others, and to draw an ordered space of speech. By assuming that speaking out is the exception, even if it is in fact frequent, the conventual norms and the use that the nuns know how to make of them allow for the emergence of a sacralized speech that reinforces the authority of the superiors and hopes to regulate community life
