a Spanish ecclesiastic, was born at Torrellas, in the diocese of Tarragona, Spain, in 1648, and entered the Order of Franciscans at Saragossa. He was charged with many offices in connection with his own order and the Inquisition, and was distinguished for his learning and the facility with which he resolved the most difficult cases. He lived a quiet and holy life, refused the see of Ciudad Rodrigo, and died in 1726, leaving several theological works, all of which have been more than once printed at Saragossa, Murcia, and Barcelona. Among them is one entitled Defensio Civitatis Mysticce Marice a Jesu de Agreda, contra Censuram Parisensium.
