CardinalisEditio Novissima By Juan de Lugo 1652 - London - Philippi Borde 12.5" by 9"; 552pp. DETAILS A collection of essays on Catholic morality from Catholic theologian Juan de Lugo. In Latin. With vignette title page. Juan de Lugo (1583–1660), a Spanish Jesuit and Cardinal, was an eminent theo logian of the Renaissance. His fame as a professor of theology attracted the attention of the General of the Jesuits, Mutius Vitelleschi, and de Lugo was summoned to Rome, where he arrived early in June, 1621. The works of Juan de Lugo, some of which have never been printed, cover nearly the whole field of moral - and dogmatic theology. What he intended in his writings was not to give a long treatise, exhaustive from every point of view; he wished only "to open up a small river, to the ocean", without relating what others had said before him and without giving a series of opinions of previous writers or furnishing authors or quotations in number; he aimed at adding what he had found from his own reflection and deep meditation on each subject.
