Juan de Cazalla

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juan de Cazalla OFM (* around 1480 in Palma, Murcia , Spain , † between 1530 and 1535) [see biographical dates ] was a Spanish theologian and titular bishop .

Live and act

Juan de Cazalla comes from a Converso family . He was the son of the farmer Gonzalo Martínez and Isabel de Cazalla. Juan de Cazalla, like his sister, the nun María de Cazalla (1487– ??), belonged to the Alumbrados movement . He introduced María to the writings of Erasmus of Rotterdam , St. Augustine and St. Bonaventure .

Juan de Cazalla was chaplain of the Archbishop of Toledo Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros , whom he accompanied in 1509 with his cousins ​​Diego de Cazalla and Pedro de Cazalla on the campaign against Oran . Juan de Cazalla is seen as an important link between Cisneros and the Alumbrados.

He worked for Cisneros until 1512, when he stayed at the San Francisco Monastery in Guadalajara . On April 20, 1517 he became titular bishop of Verissa . He also worked in the Archdiocese of Toledo and was coadjutor bishop in the Diocese of Ávila .

Cazalla preached several times in Pastrana , which is seen as the starting point of the Alumbrados movement. In the summer of 1523 he probably preached there for the last time. In 1525 he preached in Navarrete , where he met Antonio de Medrano , who was later accused of being friends with Cazalla by the Inquisition .

Juan de Cazalla published several writings. In 1528 his work Lumbre del alma appeared. (German fire of the soul ). The Spanish historian and theologian Melquiades Andrés Martín is of the opinion that he was probably influenced by the work Viola anime , which was originally written by Raimundus Sabundus and later revised by Petrus Dorlandus .

The Spanish historian Rafael M. Pérez García believes that Cazalla, along with Francisco de Osuna , Alonso de Madrid and Alejo de Venegas, is one of the most important spiritual writers of the first half of the 16th century.

Life dates

There are various details about the life dates of Juan de Cazalla. The year of birth is given in some sources directly with "1480", in other sources with "about 1480". The information on the year of death fluctuates between 1530 and 1535. In addition to the precise information "1535", other sources suggest a date of death "before 1532" or more precisely "before May 3, 1532", the day when his sister María was questioned by the Inquisition . The exact information "1530" can also be found. Even Marcel battalion is of the opinion that Cazalla died "before the May 3, 1532" and believes his death in 1530 took place.

In addition to these data, there is the statement “1514–1575”, which differs significantly from it. This cannot be assumed due to the other events in the life of Juan de Cazalla. However, it cannot be another person with these data, since the corresponding sources also mention the author of Lumbre del alma .

In the general lexicon of scholars published by Christian Gottlieb Jöcher in 1750, a Spanish Franciscan Johannes Cazalla is named, who lived around 1626, was bishop in Veracruz in India and wrote a work Lumbre del alma. De los beneficios de Dios y de la paga, que se les debe published. In the Bibliotheca Hispana Nova by Nicolás Antonio Ioannes de Cazalla is also called as bishop of Veracruz in India. The 1628 year of publication for Lumbre del alma is considered an obvious error.
