From 1534 till 1545, he was in a convent near Cordua where he met the famous Juan of Avila. He was appointed provincial of this order for the Portuguese province in 1556. His works have had a major influence on Charles Borromée and François de Salles, who wrote in 1603 to a bishop: 'Ayez Grenade tout entier, et que ce soit votre second bréviaire; il dressera votre esprit à l'amour de la vraie dévotion et à tous les exercices spirituels qui vous sont nécessaires'. The present Conciones de tempore were first issued by Plantin in 1577-1579 in three volumes, and reprinted in 1581, 1583-1584 and 1586-1588. Each volume was sold separately, which explains why there are no complete copies known of the whole edition. Please notify before visiting to see a book. Prices are excl.
