Anthony of the Mother of God
- Anthony of the Mother of God
Anthony of the Mother of God ( _es. Antonio de la Madre de Dios), born Antonio Oliva y Ordás (1583, Leon–27 November 1637, Salamanca) was a Spanish Carmelite university teacher and philosopher.
Career and works
After completing his studies at the University of Salamanca Anthony taught Aristotle's dialectics and natural philosophy at the Universidad Complutense, then located at the present Alcalá de Henares. With the collaboration of his colleagues, he undertook an encyclopaedia intended for students in arts and philosophy. This work, of which Anthony is credited with the authorship of two volumes, originally styled "Collegium Complutense philosophicum" [Alcalá, 1624; other editions Frankfurt, 1629; Lyons, 1637, 1651, 1668] was highly esteemed by Thomists. It was at first a treatise on logic; but in the course of time, metaphysics and moral philosophy were added, and the work served as an introduction to the great "Course of Theology" of the Salmanticenses, the first three volumes of which are also attributed to Anthony.
