Benito Arias Montano (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Benito Arias Montano One of the great humanists of the sixteenth century, the editor of the celebrated polyglot Bible of Antwerp, the friend of Fray Luis de Leon, Benito Arias Montano deserves an elaborate biography both for his own worth and owing to the interest of the times in which he lived, and the variety of affairs in which he took part on behalf of his master, Philip II of Spain.

The Spanish Disquiet
In this book, historian María M. Portuondo takes us to sixteenth-century Spain, where she identifies a community of natural philosophers and biblical scholars. They shared what she calls the “Spanish Disquiet”—a preoccupation with the perceived shortcomings of prevailing natural philosophies and empirical approaches when it came to explaining the natural world.

Benito Arias Montano, 1527-98
Benito Arias Montano (1527-1598), of the Order of Santiago, theologian, exegete, orientalist, humanist, representative of Spain at the Council of Trent and trusted political and religious adviser of Philip II, was perhaps the most famous Spanish scholar of his age. His chief monument is the great Antwerp Polyglot Bible in eight volumes, published by Plantin between 1569 and 1573, compiled under the supervision of Montano, with an apparatus largely written by him. This book is concerned with lesser-known but important aspects of Monano's activity, his contacts with Netherlandish scholars of uncertain orthodoxy, his membership of the sect of Familists and his clandestine influence in the spread of Erasmianism in Spain. Based on a corpus of over six hundred surviving letters, it reviews Montano's life from the point of view of his eirenic activities, and provides appendices with extracts from his correspondence, a list of documents cited and of his published and unpublished works.
