Sanchez
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
or Three persons of this name enjoyed considerable literary celebrity: (1) FRANCISCO SANCHEZ (Sanctius) (1523-1601), successively professor of Greek and of rhetoric at Salamanca, whose Minerva, first printed at that town in 1587, was long the standard work on Latin grammar. (2) FRANCISCO SANCHEZ, a Portuguese physician of Jewish parentage, born at Tuy (in the diocese of Braga) in 1550, took a degree in medicine at Montpellier in 1574, became professor of philosophy and physic at Toulouse, where he died in 1623; his ingenious treatise (Quod nihil scitur, 1581) marks the high-water of reaction against the dogmatism of his time; he is said to have been distantly related to Montaigne. (3) ToniAs Sanchez of Cordova (1551-1610), Jesuit and casuist, whose treatise De matrimonio {Genoa, 1592) is more notorious than celebrated.
