Spanish theologian, b. At Medina de Rio-Seco, Old Castile, about 1550; d. At Trani, Kingdom of Naples, 1635. He entered the Dominican Order in his native city, and taught theology for twenty years in the Spanish cities of Burgos, Trianos, Plasencia, and Valladolid, and for ten years (1596-1606) at the Minerva, in Rome. Shortly after his arrival in Rome (7 November, 1596) he presented to Clement VIII a memorial requesting him to examine the work “Concordia liberi Arbitrii”, by Ludovicus Molina, S.J., which, upon it publication in 1588, had given rise to bitter controversy. Before the Congregation (Congregatio de Auxiliis), appointed by the Pope to settle the dispute, he defended the Thomistic doctrines of grace, predestination, etc., alone for three years, and, thereafter, conjointly with Thomas de Lemos, O.P., to whom he gave the first place, until the suspension of the Congregation (1606). He was appointed, 19 March, 1606, by Paul V, to the Archbishopric of Trani, where he passed the remainder of his life.<\/p>\n

Thomâ et Thomistis defenditur et explicatur, Libri IV” (Trani, 1622; Lyons, 1622); (5) “De origine Pelagianæ hæresis et ejus progressu et damnatione per plures summos pontifices et concilia factâ Historia ex annalibus Card. Baronii et aliis probatis auctoribus collecta” (Trani, 1629); (6) “Responsionum liber ultimus hoc titulo: Opus præclarum nunquam hâctenus editum, in quo argumentis validissimis concordia liberi arbitrii cum divinâ præscientiâ, prædestinatione, et efficaciâ gratiæ prævenientis ad mentem S. Thomæ et omnium defenditur et explicatur” (Douai, 1635); (7) “Operis de auxiliis divinæ gratiæ et humani arbitrii viribus et libertate, ac legitimâ ejus cum efficaciæ eorumdem auxiliorum concordiâ summa, in IV libros distincta” (Lyons, 1620; Cologne, 1621; Trani, 1625); (8) “De incarnatione divini verbi disputationes LXXX; in quibus explicantur et defenduntur, quæ in tertiâ parte summæ theologicæ docet S. Thomas a Q. 1 ad 24” (Lyons, 1614; Rome, 1615; Cologne, 1622); (9) “Disputationes theologicæ in primam secundæ S. Thomæ, in quibus præcipua omina quæ adversus doctrinam ejusdem et communem Thomistarum a diversis auctoribus impugnantur, juxta legitimum sensum præceptoris angelici explicantur et defenduntur” (Trani, 1617; Cologne, 1621).<\/p>\n

a Spanish Dominican friar, was born at Rio Seco, in Old Castile, near the middle of the 16th century. He taught theology for thirty years in Spain and at Rome, to which latter place he was sent in 1596 in order to sustain the doctrine of St. Thomas against the disciples of Molina in the.assemblies of De Auxiliis; but he left to his companion Lemos the brilliant part of this celebrated dispute. He died at Naples. in 1635. He published, in defence of the opinions of his order, De Auxiliis Divince Gratice (Lyons, 1611): Concordia Liberi Arbitrii cum Prcedestinatione (ibid. 1622). These works gained for him the archbishopric of Trani, in the kingdom of Naples. He was considered the chief theologian of his school, and was the author of certain commentaries upon Isaiah and upon the Sumnma of St. Thomas; he is also the author of several learned works, as De Incarnatione Divini Verbi Disput. 80 (Lugduni, 1614): De Origine Pelagianoe Heresis, etc. (Trani, 1629).
