ARIAS DE ARMENTA, ALVARO. - Jesuit ascetical writer, b. in Seville in 1577, d. in Rome on 29 January 1643. Having entered the Society in 1593, he was rector of the novitiates of Montilla and Seville and of various colleges, provincial, and finally general assistant for Spain. Among his treatises, Encomia sanctissimae Eucharistiae et beatissimae Virginis Mariae (Seville 1615) is especially notable. The Contrato espiritual del hombre con Dios (Baeza 1639), in dialogue form, with the bridegroom and the bride as interlocutors, sets forth the perfection of charity. Famous in his religious province were the Meditations ad s. Ignatii exercitia... in usum tironum, unpublished.
