Introduction
Juan de Mariana’s biographical accounts depict him as a relentless and critical character whose temperament led him to confront the Society of Jesus, to which he belonged, and to be prosecuted by the Holy Inquisition.
Mariana was born in Talavera de la Reina in 1536 and studied Humanities, Philosophy, and Theology at the University of Alcalá de Henares. He entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus in Simancas and was elected as professor of the Roman College. After lecturing for 2 years in Rome, he was sent to Sicily to teach Theology in Palermo. He later moved to the University of Paris as professor of the College of the Society of Jesus.
In 1574 he came back to Spain for health reasons and devoted himself to working on his books in Toledo’s Professed House. In 1623, he was appointed royal chronicler by King Philip IV. He passed away on February 16, 1623.
