scholia - SÁ de (Manuel) SCHOLIA in Quatuor Evangelia . Ex selectis Doctorum sancrorum Setentiis Colecta per R. P. Emanuelem Sá [...]. Adicta & quædam ab eodem Auctore. Lugduni: Apud Horatium Cardon, 1602. [8], 568 pp.; 240 mm. Manuel de Sá (1530–1596) was an eminent Portuguese Jesuit theologian and exegete, a prominent member of the first generation of the Society of Jesus. He joined the order in 1544 and distinguished himself as a professor at the Roman College, where he taught Sacred Scripture. He was appointed by Pius V as a consultant to the Holy Office and was a member of the commission responsible for the revision of the Vulgate, promoted by the Council of Trent. His work reflects the philological and theological rigor with which he approached biblical texts, seeking to reconcile humanist erudition with doctrinal orthodoxy, and he is considered one of the main representatives of 16th-century Jesuit exegesis. Among his most notable writings is the Scholia in Quatuor Evangelia , published posthumously in 1596. This work brings together short but dense annotations on the four Gospels, with the aim of clarifying difficult passages, explaining vocabulary and historical contexts, and offering theologically grounded interpretations. Written in a concise and pedagogical style, it was intended for academic and pastoral use, reflecting the didactic spirit of the Society of Jesus. Its wide distribution and successive editions attest to the importance it achieved in the context of the Catholic Reformation and the teaching of the Scriptures in the post-Tridentine era. !
