Juliana Morell (16 February 1594 – 26 June 1653) was a Spanish Dominican nun and intellectual child prodigy.
Some sources assert that she received a doctorate in canon law in Avignon in 1608.
In 1941, Sylvanus Morley traced this to an 1859 misreading by Joaquín Roca y Cornet of 17th-century Latin documents.
and cited others stating that, while her father wished for her to obtain a doctorate, she refused, regarding it as incompatible with her status as a nun.
