Abstract

The Spanish humanist Juan de Valdés made a significant contribution to sixteenth-century thought in the two areas of linguistics and theology. Raised in a family of converso descent, he studied at the University of Alcalá de Henares, and he spent the last decade of his life in Italy, where he wrote most of his works. His writings, with one exception, remained unpublished in his lifetime, but they circulated widely in manuscript during the sixteenth century and exercised a hidden but notable influence on his contemporaries in Italy, Spain, and Northern Europe.
