This article reappraises the experience of the visionary Angelic Paola Antonia Negri (1508–1555) in order to reconstruct the missing links of a hidden genealogy of charismatic women. Birgitta of Sweden (1303–1373), celebrated author of eight books of revelations, played a major role in this genealogy, establishing the canon of women’s prophetic history and thus making it possible to talk of a Birgittine prophetic model. This article investigates how Negri, by exercising charismatic authority and developing her authorial voice, revived and ‘reactivated’ Birgitta’s prophetic model in its critique and legitimation of spiritual and temporal powers, its textual agency and its challenge to male hierarchies. Through the analysis of Negri’s Spiritual Letters (published posthumously in 1576), her hagiography, her milieu and the Inquisition’s and the Barnabites’ documents, this article shows how Negri made the Birgittine model available to all Christians, thus intensifying its potential to question the ecclesiastical and male monopoly of truth and spiritual power and the hierarchical nature of the early modern concept of authority.

在瑞典的比尔吉塔的步骤中：保拉·安东尼娅·内格里（Paola Antonia Negri，1508-1555）的不情愿的权威*

本文重新评估了有远见的天使保拉·安东尼娅·内格里（1508-1555）的经历，以重建魅力女性隐藏家谱中缺失的环节。瑞典的比尔吉塔（1303-1373 年）是八本启示录的著名作者，在该谱系中发挥了重要作用，确立了女性预言史的经典，从而使谈论比吉蒂尼预言模型成为可能。本文探讨了内格里如何通过行使魅力权威和发展她的作者声音，在其对精神和时间权力的批判和合法化、其文本机构及其对男性等级制度的挑战中复兴和“重新激活”Birgitta 的预言模型。通过分析内格里的精神书信 （死后出版于 1576 年）、她的圣徒传记、她的环境以及宗教裁判所和巴纳比特人的文件，这篇文章展示了内格里如何让所有基督徒都可以使用 Birgittine 模型，从而加强其质疑教会和男性对真理和精神的垄断的潜力权力和早期现代权威概念的等级性质。
