JUAN DE See also:VALDES (c. 1500-1541)
, See also:Spanish religious writer, younger of twin sons of Fernando de See also:Valdes, hereditary regidor of See also:Cuenca in See also:Castile, was See also:born about 1500 at Cuenca
.
He has been confused with his twin-See also:brother See also:Alphonso (in the See also:suite of See also: On See also:Ochino, for ' They even gave the Hansa a See also:vote in the future See also:election of the Danish See also:kings.whose sermons he furnished themes, his See also:influence was See also:great . See also:Carnesecchi, who had known Valdes at Rome as " a modest and well-bred courtier," found him at Naples (1540) " wholly See also:intent upon the study of See also:Holy Scripture," translating portions into Spanish from See also:Hebrew and See also:Greek, with comments and introductions . To him Carnesecchi ascribes his own See also:adoption of the Evangelical See also:doctrine of See also:justification by faith, and at the same See also:time his rejection of the policy of the Lutheran See also:schism . Valdes died at Naples in May 1541° His See also:death scattered his See also:band of associates . Abandoning the See also:hope of a regenerated Catholicism, Ochino and Vermigli left See also:Italy . Some of Valdes's writings were by degrees published) in See also:Italian See also:translations . Showing much originality and penetration, they combine a delicate vein of semi-mystical spirituality with the See also:personal See also:charm attributed to their author in all contemporary notices . See also:Llorente traces in Valdes the influence of See also:Tauler; any such influence must have been at second See also:hand . The Aviso on the interpretation of Scripture, based on Tauler, was probably the work of Alphonso . Valdes was in relations with Fra Benedetto of See also:Mantua, the anonymous author of Del Benefizio di Gesit Cristo Crocefisso, revised by Flaminio (reprinted by Dr See also:Babington, See also:Cambridge, 1855) . The See also:suggestion that Valdes was unsound on the Trinity was first made in 1567 by the Transylvanian See also:bishop, See also:Francis See also:David (see See also:article Socrxus); it has been adopted by See also:Sand (1684), See also:Wallace (185o) and other See also:anti-Trinitarian writers, and is countenanced by See also:Bayle . To this view some See also:colour is given by isolated expressions in his writings, and by the subsequent course of Ochino (whose heterodox repute rests, however, on the insight with which he presented objections) . Valdes never treats of the Trinity (even when commenting on Matt. See also:xxviii . 19), reserving it (in his Latte Spiritasale) as a topic for advanced Christians; yet he explicitly affirms the consubstantiality of the Son, whom he unites in doxologies with the See also:Father and the Holy Spirit (Opusc. p . 145) . See also:Practical See also:theology interested him more than speculative; his aim being the promotion of a healthy and personal piety . The following is a See also:list of his writings (1) Didlogo de Mercurio y Caron (no date or place; 1528?) .
